Sea Shell Art is the creativity of using Sea Shells to create beautiful show pieces or decorative items. A seashell is a formed on the outside of sea animals and are hard mainly for the protection of the animal in the sea. These animals are usually invertebrate (animal without a backbone). Scientifically, these shells are made of calcium carbonate or chitin. The shells found on sea shores are empty because either the invertebrate has died or eaten by another animal or have decomposed. Marine mollusks shells are usually made of calcium carbonate and are stronger. Other types are barnacles, horseshoe crabs and brachiopods.

Apart from many medicinal benefits, people have used sea shells to create many creative crafts over the years. People love collecting decorative keepsakes to make journeys memorable. "Sailor's Valentines" were very popular in late 19th-century and were made in the Caribbean. The creatives are small sea shells beautifully arranged and glued into attractive symmetrical designs. Shellwork is a big market globally and is a source of income for many inhabitants of the sea shore. Shellwork objects include landmark replicas, jewellery, mirrors, show pieces.
