A hand-decorated Oyster shell ornament that can be hung or displayed on a sideboard/table.
This design features a charming Robin perched on a delicate branch. But it's not just the beautiful artwork that makes this ornament special. The wording, "Robins appear when loved ones are near," adds a heartfelt touch that truly captures the spirit of you are not alone with a loss.
The presence of a Robin has long been associated with the presence of loved ones who have passed away. According to folklore, it is believed that when a Robin is spotted during the winter months, it is a sign that a departed loved one is close by, watching over us and sending their love. This belief has become a comforting symbol for many, reminding us that even though our loved ones may no longer be physically with us, their spirit and love remain ever-present in our lives.
The edge of the shell is hand-painted in gold ink, and the inside of the shell has a special pearl coating that makes the image shimmer. The oyster shell comes with a satin ribbon to hang as an ornament, or it can be removed to display on a shelf/sideboard or used as a trinket dish.
All are presented in an attractive eco-friendly gift/retail box with a window for easy viewing of the item. A removable sticker on the box states, "This is genuine Galway Bay Oyster Shell".
The box interior has eco-friendly paper, which looks attractive and protects the shell from damage. Please note: These are wild natural shells from the west coast of Ireland, and as such, each one is different in size, shape, and markings. The average shell size is 2" x 3", with some shorter and others taller: some wider and others narrower.
