Gift ideas

A unique gift from the sea

Something that lasts longer than flowers. We collect every oyster on the Oosterschelde in Zeeland and decorate it by hand in our Amsterdam workshop. No two are alike, so every gift is one of a kind.

Our most-gifted pieces

Why give an oyster?

An oyster shell is a little dish by nature: for rings on the nightstand, keys in the hall, or just as a small work of art. Gold leaf, paint and a glossy finish make it something to keep.

And it comes with a story: the shell lay in the Oosterschelde, the largest national park in the Netherlands, and was finished by hand in Amsterdam.

Which gift for whom?

A few ideas to start with:

  • For someone who has everything: an oyster with their name.
  • For anyone who loves Holland: Delft Blue or canal houses.
  • For the tree: Oyster Ornaments, single or as a set of three.
  • Not sure? A gift card lets them choose.
