Christa's South Seashells Consignment
These rare shells are free-dived by women to collect. Many, up to a century old, are curated from Christa’s travels and estate shell collections. Some of the shells are so rare they would sell for the same price as the earrings. Since the shells are not drilled, they retain their value.
Inspired by Italian grottoes, and German and British castles, artist Christa Wilm translates the European love of underwater fantasies into a cultivated American shell art form.
The unique color, shape, and texture of Christa's South Seashells atelier designs - chandeliers, mirrors, paneling, decorations and jewelry - can be seen at Miami's Faena and the Palm Beach Breakers hotels in the Philippe Starck and Ralph Lauren projects, and the homes of sophisticated shell-art lovers worldwide. Christa's vision spurned an international seashell-decor revival 20 years ago, when she began using sea life in contemporary works of art.
