For my daughter wedding engagement I made these pretty oyster shell personalized jewelry dishes. They can be used for their wedding rings. I wrote with a gold pen her name and fiancé name on them. I position the name on the top and wrote a saying on the bottom.

I am lucky to live close to the water where oyster shell is of abundance.

How To Make Personalized Jewelry Dish

1. Wash your oyster shells with one part vinegar and one part water and let dry.

2. Paint the edges with gold metallic paint. I used a flat point tip artist brush. Brush along the edges carefully.

3. With a gold paint pen write whatever you like. I made these for my daughter engagement party so I wrote her name and her fiancé. On the bottom I wrote inspiration quotes they came up with. Tip: Start by writing in script their names on paper to get used to the way it feels to write with the gold pen. Tap the tip on paper to release the gold paint. Then start writing on the oyster shell.

I painted around 14 unique oyster shells all with different sayings. My daughter and her fiancé loved them. If you make a mistake quickly with a wet paper towel wash off the gold paint. It is acrylic and it will wash off. But it you let it stand for a few minutes you cannot wash it off.

What are the best Oyster shell to use.

There are many size oyster shells. The best ones to make a dish are the ones that are deep in the middle that look like a small saucer.

Where To Buy oyster shells.

You can buy them on Amazon . If you live near the beach you probably can find them at the oyster factories. I live in coastal South Carolina where there are plenty of oysters to purchase.
