The Oldest Heirlooms

Seashells can be thousands of years old, the discarded homes of long-gone creatures, drifting the ocean currents for hundreds of miles until washing up at your feet.

If that seashell happens to go home in your pocket, it will then become a new home— for the memories of your special time at the beach.

These tiny works of earthly art hold the ages. They are our oldest heirlooms.

Fitting then that The Heirloomist is obsessed with all things seashell. I am excited to share a new Heirloomist project with you— still life portraits of seashells from around the world. With a focus on texture and color palate, the prints bring an artfully organic touch to any room. Paging all beach enthusiasts, designers, travelers, and personalized art seekers.
