I love to wear SBH almost as much as I love seeing other people wearing it. Oh and by the way, if you have any pictures of yourself in SBH jewelry send it my way! I’ll feature you in the photo gallery.
Some of the pieces shown here are not featured as items to purchase. If you see something that you'd like but are unable to buy it, e-mail me and I'll do my best to re-create it.

Meghan Hand Lambert
Here's a little info and history about me. I grew up on Long Island in the bayside village of Brightwaters, NY. I spent many a summer on nearby beautiful Fire Island finding little treasures on the beach, which I considered precious even then. It wasn't until I went to Costa Rica five years ago with my then boyfriend, now husband, that I began really experimenting with shells and design. While he surfed, I beach-combed and came across the tiniest prettiest pink shell I had ever seen. My "shell rose" necklace was created for the first time a few weeks later. I have been back on Long Island for a few years now, and my fingers can't work fast enough to create all of the ideas I have swirling around. I hope you enjoy looking at some of the ones that have come to fruition.
