Each natural shell, measuring 2-3 inches, is meticulously adorned with a vibrant red cardinal, a beloved messenger of hope and a reminder of loved ones. It's beautifully complemented by the festive poinsettia, symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem and good fortune. The shell is bathed in a luminous mother-of-pearl paint, making the rich reds of the cardinal and poinsettia truly pop. A touch of shimmering liquid gold leaf gilds the edges, adding a touch of luxury, and a protective gloss finish ensures its lasting beauty. Strung with a coordinating red satin ribbon, this ornament is ready to hang, spread cheer, or be cherished as a thoughtful gift.
