Rooted in Poughkeepsie, Made With Heart

Learn how a local passion became a collection of meaningful treasures, each one unique.

From a Love of Nature to Handmade Art

Proudly from Poughkeepsie, New York, Shellys Stones and Shells is a family-owned artisan business founded in October 2023. What began with a passion for collecting unique stones and shells grew into a business dedicated to creating beautiful, authentic pieces that celebrate nature and individuality.

A Family Story in Every Piece

At Shellys Stones and Shells, Bill sources distinctive natural stones from around the world, selecting materials for their unique beauty, color, texture, and character. His wife then brings those materials to life, handcrafting each piece with care and personal attention. Together, they create jewelry and décor that feels personal, natural, and genuinely one of a kind.

Where Nature Meets Handmade Art

Every piece starts with the natural character of its materials. Instead of mass production or assembly-line manufacturing, each creation is handcrafted individually around the stones and shells available.

    Natural Stones and Shells Sourced Globally

Because the materials themselves are unique, no two creations are exactly alike.

Made With Intention, Never Mass-Produced

At Shellys Stones and Shells, individuality is at the heart of what we create. Every bracelet, necklace, earring, ring, carving, décor piece, and beachscape receives individual attention from start to finish. Our goal is simple: combine natural beauty, creativity, authenticity, and craftsmanship to create pieces that tell their own story.

Where Craft Meets Community

Our local roots are a meaningful part of our story. Along with our online shop, we bring our handmade creations directly to the community through local farmers’ markets and craft fairs. It’s an opportunity to meet our customers, share our work, and let you experience the maker behind the pieces.
