OCEAN TREASURES
Handcrafted. Meaningful. Real.
"Each piece is one of a kind, wearable art that speaks of broken things made beautiful. I rented an apartment on Malibu beach to be close to my son and heal from grief. Each morning while walking and praying, I collected God's gifts of beautiful broken shells. The process of making the broken abandoned shells beautiful healed me in many ways. My joy is found in elevating others. These are gifts that lift. Each shell is unique and represents worthiness and value. When my friends and customers wear them, I hope they will feel vibes of worthiness and be reminded to choose resilience under pressure.
The only way out of grief is through. We need community during these seasons of life. People who will speak words of life and make us smile. I'm building a community and brand that stokes joy through faith, racing, and luxury living.
The beautiful metals stringing through the broken passageways symbolize God's grace and light pouring through the cracks and into the dark corners. The embellished shells represent humanity radiantly overcoming hard things. Each piece took hours to hand craft including multiple soaks, wire brushes, epoxy, and custom fit metals. The metals are high quality stainless steel with 18 ct gold plate. The higher price point is intentional to align with the nature of art, low volume uniqueness, its message of great worth, and proceeds to support Slave 2 Nothing Foundation.
A blend of Malibu vibes and Alabama soul = Mali-Bama"

THE STORY BEHIND THE SHELLS
From the Shore
to Something More
The Wavy Turban Snail, "Wavetone", produces nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, to protect its soft body from predators, parasites, and irritants. Layer by layer, the nacre provides a durable lining that shields and heals the snail from the forces of nature. As the exterior takes a beating, the interior becomes more lustrous.
