A hand-decorated Oyster shell ornament that comes with a gold display stand.
This design truly captures the essence of the Aran Islands and pays homage to the region’s rich traditions and heritage. The illustration portrays an Aran Island fisherman skillfully rowing his curragh through the turbulent waves of Galway Bay.
What truly makes this ornament special is the addition of the traditional Aran sweater worn by the fisherman. The intricate patterns and textures of the sweater are beautifully showcased, showcasing the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Aran Islands. The sweater not only adds a touch of authenticity to the design but also serves as a symbol of the islanders’ resilience and connection to their Irish heritage.
The edge of the shell is hand-painted in gold ink, and the inside of the shell has a special pearl coating that makes the image shimmer.
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 colour and texture.
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.
