In the following pages,we will assist you
in discovering the beauty of shells.
Jacky and I, will show to YOU
what creative ideas,
ocean shells, can bring to a designer,
architect, or for your own personal creativity.
Here we go :
there are thousands of different shells in the ocean.
Not all shells are suitable for interior design products.
First of all, some shells are on the endangered species list,
and cannot be used for commercial purposes.
If I would risk it, and use banned shells in our designs,
I might end up 30 YEARS in the Philippine SLAMMER,
and I have absolutely no intention
to spend a long holiday over there.
All the shells we use, are purchased from the :
- pearl farm, where shells are harvested for the pearl
(mother of pearl, black lip, and river shell)
- either from shell meat farms, where shells are harvested
for their meat (abalone)
- either from `stockers` on the islands,
which buy the shells from the fishermen.
