Meet Santa Rosa Shells

A little of the coast.
A lot of meaning.

Santa Rosa Shells began with a simple idea: everyone should be able to bring a piece of the Emerald Coast home.

Zak brings handcrafted detail and precision engraving together in gifts and coastal pieces. A name, a meaningful place, your wedding date or your business logo gives each one its own story.

What does Santa Rosa Shells make?

Santa Rosa Shells offers custom laser engraving and coastal decor and gifts. That includes engraving on oyster shells, slate, wood, metal and acrylic, metal color engraving, laser cutting, coordinate gifts, oyster flight boards, wall art such as crosses and shadow-box shells, Christmas ornaments, wedding and event pieces, business cards and marketing items, oyster bottle charms and napkin rings. Realtors can order branded closing gifts, and small businesses can customize items with their branding. Everything is customizable, including bulk shell orders in different sizes and shapes. Describe the finished piece or shell selection you have in mind.

Do you sell shells in bulk?

Yes. Bulk bleached shells are available in different sizes and shapes for events, gardens and other crafters. Email santarosashells@outlook.com with your preferred sizes, shapes, quantity and intended use. Everything is customizable, and the selection, availability and pricing are discussed for your order.

What materials can you engrave?

Oyster shells, slate, wood, metal and acrylic are the core materials. Other materials can be discussed for your project, so mention what you have in mind when you email. Epoxy is not an engraving surface; it is used for figures and coatings on some coastal pieces. Suitability depends on the specific surface and design. If you already have an item in mind, describe it rather than assuming every item of that material can be engraved.

How do I start a custom order?

Use the contact form or email santarosashells@outlook.com with your idea, the wording you want, a material if you have a preference and any date the piece is needed for. The details are then talked through with you before anything is made. Include quantity and separate confirmed wording from rough ideas. You do not need a finished layout to explain what the piece is for.

Where is Santa Rosa Shells?

The business lists Destin, Florida as its area. Email to talk about your project and where you are located. The listing is not a public shop address or confirmation of arrangements for every location. Ask about arrangements for your project before making plans around them.

How much does a custom piece cost?

Every project is priced individually, because size, material, quantity and design all change the work. Share your details by email to talk about pricing for your piece. If you are comparing ideas, explain which details can change and which matter most. A photograph alone does not establish a price for your version.
