History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424990-86 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The use of shells for decorative purposes dates back to ancient times, with evidence of shell jewelry and ornaments found in archaeological sites around the world. In the 19th century, the popularity of seashell collecting as a hobby led to the development of a market for decorative shells. The industry grew rapidly in the early 20th century, with shells being used for a variety of decorative purposes, including home decor, jewelry, and fashion accessories. In recent years, the industry has faced challenges due to concerns over the environmental impact of shell collecting and the availability of cheaper synthetic alternatives.
