Shell tree
How much: $200
Where: Art-Sea Living, 1628 S. Federal Highway, Boynton Beach. Phone: 737-2600
The pearly luster of oyster shells lights up this tabletop tree, perfect for the hostess who has everything. It was created by Boynton Beach artist Barbara Webb, who also designs mirrors, sconces and lamps in elegant coquillage, or shell work.
Also worthy of note: An amazing half-inch-to-the-foot scale model of a cottage, complete with steaks on the grill ($1,395), that was designed by Delray Beach artist Pamela O’Brien. Bring her your idea and she will create a custom miniature space.
Freshwater pearl necklaces
How much: $100-$225

Gulf Stream resident Carol Calicchio drew inspiration from St. Barth for these necklaces made from 15mm freshwater pearls and leather or suede lariat cording. We think the necklaces, and their bohemian vibe, are a great blend of earth and sea, or rather, land and water, since they’re made with freshwater pearls.
The designer’s children also make hand-painted Christmas ornaments ($10-$25). Half of the proceeds benefit Animal Rescue Force. Look for their handiwork at Gulfstream Pharmacy.
