Know before you buy
No, this item is strictly for decorative display purposes. It is not food-safe and should not come into direct contact with food or beverages.
Because each shell is sourced from the Rappahannock River and is a natural, one-of-a-kind item, you should expect slight variations in shape, size, and texture. Your piece will be unique, though it will maintain the same Mint Julip theme and gold-trimmed aesthetic.
To maintain the high-gloss finish and gold trim, simply wipe the shell gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or submerging it in water, as these can damage the protective sealant.
Each shell generally measures between 4 and 5 inches. Please keep in mind that due to the natural, asymmetrical shape of the oyster shells, the exact dimensions will vary slightly from piece to piece.
The shell is fully sealed to provide lasting protection against tarnish. This finish helps preserve the metallic gold detailing and the overall luster of the piece for long-term display.
