Making seashell jewelry is a comparatively simple craft. If you are interested in making jewelry yourself, you can have a try to make shell jewelry.

Screening out seashells is time-consuming. Picking out the shells in similar colors and sizes needs great patience. If you are going to make shell earrings, be sure that you have matched shells for each earring. When you'd like to make a shell necklace, you ought to pick out shells in similar shape and size.

Does anybody know of a jewellery designer called "lythos" ?
I bought a brooch from a charity shop today. It is a rectangular shape, made in stainless steel, and at the centre is a rectangular piece of pretty paua shell. It is not brand new; it may possibly be a 1970s vintage brooch. On the back it is engraved with the word "lythos" and below in smaller letters, the word ENGLAND. The t of lythos has an arrow head on top. I would love to know more about its origins. Any ideas?
