seashell information

The Seashells and shell products supplied at www.brightonseashells.com are all collected from naturally sustainable resources and are either a by-product of local food gathering, or naturally available, such as flotsam brought in by the tide.

Many shells will have acquired certain marks and imperfections during their lifetime and these should be considered perfectly normal.

They are gathered and exported with the permission of the local fisheries authorities and (when required) with certification from CITIES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).

We sell no endangered species and we continue to make every effort to monitor relevant data through trade information and conservation societies in order to ensure this continues to be the case.
