Import Cowrie Shell — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Viet Nam

Cowrie Shells from Blue Lotus Exim Co., Ltd. are natural marine shells sourced from Viet Nam, offered in a graded size range that includes XXS (2 to 4.5 cm), S (4.5 to 6 cm), M (6 to 8.5 cm), and L (over 8.5 cm). Each shell is pre-cleaned and polished to remove organic residue, ensuring they are ready for immediate use in decorative or craft applications. The supplier confirms the shells are free of artificial dyes or coatings, preserving their natural colour and texture.

The material is 100% natural calcium carbonate, typical for cowrie species such as Cypraea moneta or Cypraea annulus, which are standard in craft-grade shell trade. Typical industry characteristics for this product include a smooth, glossy surface with minimal pitting, and a uniform thickness of 1.5 to 3 mm depending on size. These shells are not treated with preservatives, so they retain the organic variability in pattern and lustre that artisans value.

Primary buyers include jewelry makers, home decor manufacturers, and educational suppliers who require consistent sizing and clean surfaces. The shells suit applications like inlaid furniture, costume jewelry, and classroom biology kits. Importers should confirm bulk packaging options, as cowrie shells are typically shipped in 25 kg jute sacks or carton boxes. Trade terms for this supplier are negotiable, but buyers must verify incoterms and lead times directly with Blue Lotus Exim Co., Ltd.

Blue Lotus Exim Co., Ltd. operates as an imported-tier supplier based in Viet Nam, specialising in marine-sourced decorative materials. The company’s profile indicates a harbor-level trust tier, meaning it is a verified entity engaged in cross-border trade. While no response rate or average response time data is available, the supplier’s focus remains on bulk export of natural cowrie shells to international craft and decor markets.

The supplier does not list certifications, production capacity, or client references in its profile. Buyers should treat this as a standard trade intermediary rather than a direct producer. The absence of verified response signals suggests direct communication may be required to clarify trade terms, lead times, or quality control processes before placing orders.
