The Folklore of Shells and Pearls: Scallops, Rhymes and Saints

Shells evoke days at the beach and the wonders of nature. But they are the remains of living creatures—so you can see why some people think it's bad luck to bring them indoors! They're also associated with St James...and some think the 'she sells sea shells' tongue twister has an interesting origin!
