A hand-decorated Oyster shell ornament.
This design features a charming Robin perched on a delicate branch. But it’s not just the beautiful artwork that makes this ornament special. The wording, “Robins appear when loved ones are near,” adds a heartfelt touch that truly captures the spirit of you are not alone with a loss.
The presence of a Robin has long been associated with the presence of loved ones who have passed away. According to folklore, it is believed that when a Robin is spotted during the winter months, it is a sign that a departed loved one is close by, watching over us and sending their love. This belief has become a comforting symbol for many, reminding us that even though our loved ones may no longer be physically with us, their spirit and love remain ever-present in our lives.
All are presented in an attractive eco-friendly giftbox 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.
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.
