Seashells as a Symbol for Love

Seashells, as a symbol for love, stemmed from various stories and beliefs and, perhaps, the most popular among them was excerpt from the Roman myth, which told of the story of Poseidon, the God of the Sea, who took a shell from the depths of the ocean and gave it to his wife, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, as a symbol of their love for one another. From the same myth, the seashell was also deemed as a symbol of a man's prosperity, taking a cue from Poseidon's palace that was made of shells, corals, gold, and silver, and shell carriage that was often portrayed as driven by seahorses.

The beautiful scalloped shells, or the bivalve mollusks, are typically favored as the symbol of love among the sea shell varieties owing to their naturally-enjoined structure, which is likened to the unity of a couple, as well as of the strength and shelter that each provides the other.

In finding love, the seashell also teaches of us a lesson from the saying that goes: "Pick up a beautiful shell that catches your glance while walking on a shore before it is taken aback by the waves and forever vanishes into the ocean," which hints us about finding love, keeping it, and holding onto it forever.
