Take Care of Carved Seashells

Carved sea shells have beautiful designs and are often used to make jewelry. Seashells are found along beaches or purchased in gift stores. Whether you use a seashell as a pendant or put it on display in your home, the seashell still needs to be cared for. Clean your seashell and make the memory of the day you found it last for years.

Instructions

    • 1

      Dust your seashell, especially the deep ridges. Dust will settle and begin to darken the color over time.

    • 2

      Rinse the seashell off with water to remove the dust. Dry the seashell with a soft cloth.

    • 3

      Keep the luster of a seashell pendant by oiling the shell with mineral oil.

    • 4

      Paint your seashell with clear nail polish to give it a wet look.

    • 5

      Store the seashell in a glass case and put on display in your home. When people visit your home and look at the seashell, tell them why it holds special meaning to you.
