Every Shell Tale tells a story — and this one gives back. 🐾💛🐾
This Shell Tales for Tails ornament is a one-of-a-kind keepsake created with love in Cape May, New Jersey.
Your pet’s photo is carefully transferred by hand onto a real seashell — not decoupaged, but fused into the shell’s surface for a luminous, lasting finish. Each shell is sanded, sealed, and trimmed with your choice of gold, silver, or natural edge.
✨ A Gift That Gives Back:
A portion of every Shell Tales for Tails purchase is donated to local animal shelters and rescues in Cape May County, helping provide food, medical care, and comfort to pets waiting for their forever homes.
Each custom pet ornament is handcrafted on a real Cape May seashell, preserving your pet’s photo in a luminous resin finish. No two shells are alike — each is a one-of-a-kind keepsake made by hand with love.
$10 from every “Shell Tales for Tails” ornament is donated to local animal shelters, helping give comfort, care, and second chances to pets waiting for their forever homes.
Because every shell tells a story… and every pet deserves one, too. 🐚✨

What are Shell Tales used for?
Transform a cherished photo into a lasting keepsake by transferring it onto a shell. Create a collection of family portraits to adorn your living space or honor a beloved pet. Consider gifting one to a friend; they'll be deeply touched by your heartfelt gesture.
How is photo transfer different from decoupage?
Photo transferring is a technique using a laser printer and special transfer gel to your photo. After the shell is prepared (sanitized, sanded and painted) your photo is edited to fit in the shell. The photo is gently placed into the shell and after 24 hours the paper is removed. The shell now holds your photo (not decoupage which is gluing a photo on the shell)
