Handcrafted shell keychains and bag charms

Carry a piece of the coast wherever you go. At Tagalong Arts in Bolivia, North Carolina, we transform natural oyster shells and scalloped shells into durable, artful accessories with hand-placed embellishments and resilient finishes.

Coastal charm in your pocket

Each accessory starts with genuine oyster shells and scalloped shells, hand-selected for their natural curves and patterns. Detailed embellishments accentuate the shell's organic contours, turning everyday keychains and purse accents into miniature coastal keepsakes.

Sealed for everyday wear

Keys and totes take a beating, which is why our charms are built to last. We coat every finished piece in a protective layer of clear resin, preserving delicate details and ensuring your keychain stands up to daily movement inside pockets and bags.

The perfect coastal souvenir

Whether you want to remember your trip to coastal North Carolina or share the sea breeze with a friend, our charms make thoughtful keepsakes. While we currently offer ready-made designs rather than custom requests, each batch features unique, one-of-a-kind shell textures.
