Meet the Artist!
Hello collectors, before I begin, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit this website and check out my creations. It means the world to me that I can share my passion with you all.
My name is Koko Lafferty, a true Cape May local! Born and raised on the beaches of Cape May, I’ve been taking sunrise and sunset strolls for as long as I can remember — collecting tiny treasures along the way.
After years of gathering, admiring, and turning these tiny coastal keepsakes into jewelery for family and friends, I decided it was time to share a few of them with you.
When you take one home, you’re not just adding a new accessory to your jewelry box—you’re Collecting Cape May.
You might also spot a few special shells from Captiva, Florida—my favorite childhood vacation spot!
So go ahead: pick your place, find your shell, and start collecting with me!
Meet Our Products!
Each piece you see is handmade using shells I personally collect from the beaches of Cape May, New Jersey.
Why Shells?
Seashells are the sea’s most unique gifts—each one different, each one special. At Collecting Cape May, I design every piece to the shell’s shape, size, and color to highlight their natural beauty.
Every necklace, bracelet, and earring is handcrafted to fit its shell perfectly—no two alike, just like the shells themselves.
Meet the Materials!
Our jewelry doesn’t just capture the beach lifestyle—it’s made to live it.
Built for beach days full of sunscreen, sweat, swims, and even that post-sun, pre-dinner shower.
No tarnish, guaranteed.
Crafted using either 18 karat gold-filled or sterling silver chains.
