Jim's Seashells

Jim's Seashells has been collecting and selling seashells for 30 years. I became interested in shells while working as a consultant for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands during the 70's and 80's and remain passionate about the beauty of shells. I share this passion with other shell collectors. Kids love shells. Some adults retain that passion. We source shells from many places around the Pacific Ocean and Asian region and combine my love of travel to visit remote communities. By buying and selling the shells from these communities, we provide them a source of income from what is generally a waste product once they have eaten the animals. We educate them to preserve the endangered species, and to ship them undamaged. Find me on Trademe or Ebay, or the local Riccarton Markets.
