How much does it cost to get a seashell drilled?
Drilling a shell yourself requires a Dremel, diamond bits (around $65), and practice. Using a professional seashell drilling service costs between $32 and $195, depending on the quantity and jewelry finish. Explore the configurator below for a custom mounting without breaking it.
Choose your finish, then the number of seashells:
I drill the seashell by hand; the seashell is dry to the touch and matte in appearance, preserving the organic soul of a seashell on the shore.
It is the seashell in its most natural form.
Turn your seashell into a charm ready to be mounted into jewelry.
Delivered with its 14K Gold Filled ring.
I restore the water-like radiance to your seashell.
Do you love mother-of-pearl?
The reflection is even more brilliant than mother-of-pearl; it captures and reflects light just like the sun shining on the Ocean.
The Oceanic Wet Look gives the seashell a shimmer as bright as if you had just found it on the beach, still wet from the waves for that highly coveted Wet-Look effect.

THE PROMISE OF THE L|C WORKSHOP
YOUR TREASURE IN GOOD HANDS
THE EXPERTISE OF THE OCEAN SHAPER
The Diagnosis Before the Act: I do not drill "blindly."
I have never had to use it (I haven't broken a seashell in many long years), nevertheless, I have established the "Fragment Pact." It consists of sending me 3 cleaned and sorted seashells > wrap each one in paper and write their number on it, in order of preference.
This is your safety net to guarantee an ideal result, just in case the material decides to split under the tool if it is weakened. Unused fragments join my material library to nourish future creations.
I know how attached one can become to a specific seashell, so I understand your desire to have only this seashell and no other; I agree to drill it if you accept the risk. Should it happen to break despite my expertise, I promise that we will find a solution together.
Whether offering you one of my rare seashells (a gray one, for example), an exceptional mother-of-pearl, or trying the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi, which consists of repairing a broken object by highlighting its scars with gold instead of hiding them.
Upon receipt of your treasure, I perform a diagnosis of your seashells. If I judge that one of your fragments is truly too fragile or presents a risk of breakage, I will contact you before any intervention.
Your memory is my priority; I prefer to hold off on taking action and discuss it with you.
STERLING SILVER QUALITY
Lifetime Guarantee: the ring I provide is made of 925 Sterling Silver. I certify the quality of this precious metal: it does not flake, change color, or oxidize. It is hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
You are wearing high quality, forever.
HIGH PRECISION
Zero Cracks: drilling into seashell or ancient mother-of-pearl requires a specific technique to avoid thermal overheating and excessive vibrations—the very things that cause a shell to shatter.
I exclusively use my gentle "À la Linda" method combined with diamond-tipped drill bits for a clean, precise pierce that respects the material, executed with a professional touch.
THE PROMISE OF MAISON L|C
By entrusting your fragment to Linda Clarini, you benefit from over 10 years of savoir-faire recognized by leading publications (Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan)...
You benefit from a 2-year guarantee on the 925 Sterling Silver and on the SIGNATURE and HAUTE MAIN finishes, including on custom jewelry.
Beyond that, I won't let you down—the repair Workshop is always here for your seashell.
