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.
Ordering & Pricing
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.
How long does a custom order take?
Timing depends on the project. If you have an event or a gift date, include it in your first email so timing can be discussed from the start. Say when you need the finished pieces, not only the celebration date. No fixed turnaround is listed, so confirm timing before relying on a particular date.
Can I send my own design or logo?
You are welcome to include artwork, a logo or a sketch with your email. Whether it can be used as it is depends on the design and the material, which is part of the conversation. Explain which lettering or details must remain and which are only inspiration. Ask what artwork is needed for the proposed piece before preparing more files.
Custom Laser Engraving
What is the difference between scoring, engraving and cutting?
Scoring marks a light line on the surface, engraving removes material for a deeper mark, and cutting goes all the way through to create a shape. Many pieces use more than one. You can describe the result you want without choosing the technique yourself. The material and design guide that decision during the project discussion.
What is metal color engraving?
Metal color engraving uses the laser to create color tones on suitable metals. Whether it works for your piece depends on the metal and the design. It is not a promise of any color on every metal. Describe the look you want and ask whether it is suitable for the proposed surface.
Do you engrave business cards and marketing items?
Yes. Small businesses can order engraved business cards and marketing items, and realtors can order thoughtful branded closing gifts. Share your logo, material, quantity and any personal wording by email. The design is customizable, with size and artwork discussed before work begins.
Coastal Decor & Gifts
What is a coordinate gift?
A coordinate gift is engraved with the latitude and longitude of a meaningful place, such as a home, a wedding location or a favorite beach. Check that the numbers identify the place you intend and share your preferred format. A place name or date can be discussed alongside them if it helps explain the meaning.
Do you make pieces for weddings and events?
Yes. Weddings are a key category, including gifts, keepsakes and custom event pieces. Everything is customizable around your names, colors and celebration. Include your date, quantity and wording in your email, and let us know whether the pieces share one design or need individual names.
Can bottle charms and napkin rings be personalized?
Oyster bottle charms and napkin rings can carry names, initials or a short message. Email with the wording and quantity you have in mind. Think about how the wording will read at the table and keep your first idea concise. Size and layout are discussed for the piece rather than assumed from a photo.
