A hand-decorated Oyster shell ornament that can be hung or displayed on a sideboard/table.
This Ornament has the words of an Irish Christmas blessing along with an illustration of a Christmas candle. The wording goes
May peace and plenty be the first
to lift the latch on your door,
And happiness be guided to your home,
By the candle of Christmas.
The edge of the shell is hand-painted in gold ink, and the inside of the shell has a unique pearl coating that shimmers through the image. The oyster shell comes with a satin ribbon to hang as an ornament, or it can be removed to display on a shelf/sideboard or used as a trinket dish.
All are presented in an attractive eco-friendly gift/retail box with a window for easy viewing of the item. A removable sticker on the box states, "This is genuine Galway Bay Oyster Shell".
The box interior has eco-friendly paper, which looks attractive and protects the shell from damage. Please note: These are wild natural shells from the west coast of Ireland, and as such, each one is different in size, shape, and markings. The average shell size is 2" x 3", with some shorter and others taller: some wider and others narrower.

We believe that every shell has a tale to tell. Our oysters are from the west coast of Ireland, picked from the waters of the world-famous “Galway Bay” part of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
Shells are genuinely one-of-a-kind gifts because no two are alike. They are tumbled by the wild Atlantic Ocean waves and shaped by the changing seasons, resulting in varying sizes and shapes. We work with what nature has given us. Variations such as; growth marks, ragged edges, chipped backs, and barnacles make each one special.
Every shell is individually picked, cleaned, prepared, hand painted and decorated by our artists at our studio in Galway, Ireland.
The interior is finished with a smooth white or pearl coating and painted gold edging. The back of the shell is left natural with hand-painted gold trim. A clear semi-gloss coat enriches the shell’s color and texture.
The satin ribbon can be removed to display the shell on a table or as a trinket dish.
Whether you receive this as a gift or purchase it for yourself as a decoration, a memento of a trip, or for friends or family to mark an occasion or relationship – you are becoming part of this Oyster’s tale.
