Our Story

Every Shell Has
a Story.

Terri Shick founded Secrets of the Shell to bring the thrill of discovery to something as personal as jewelry. A sealed oyster is a small, honest gamble: nobody in the room knows the colour, the shape, or the size until the shell finally gives it up.

What happens next is craftsmanship. Every pearl is cultured ethically, sealed fresh, and mounted by hand into the setting you choose, whether that is a sterling cage, a ring, or a dangle for your rearview mirror. The excitement is the beginning, and the piece you wear is the part that lasts.

100%

Cultured Pearls

Terri travels to craft fairs, bridal expos, and county fairs, opening oysters in person all season long.
