The Blue Mussel — Local services in Naples

Minutes after we walked into the shop, we were overwhelmed by the variety of high-quality creative art pieces on display at reasonable prices. We bought a beautiful conch shell for our buffet but were also looking for a center piece for our dining room table. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted, so shop owner Paige took us by the hand, conceptualized what we might want and started to build what we happily finished ten minutes later. The result was a beautiful bowl of shell art that could easily be shown at any sophisticated art gallery. Even the bowl is made from shells! The shop team also carefully packed some of what we bought and shipped it to back to Illinois where we reside. When a business owner helps conceptualize, then turns you loose to create something beyond your wildest imagination – it’s an amazing feeling! Thank you...

As far as a souvenir shop goes I was impressed with the blue mussel. Price ranges vary and you can get a large 5-7 inch sea star for $4-8 depending on the variety. They also have more craft things like necklaces, bracelets, or even a coin purse made from shells.

They do charge a "convenience fee" of 3.5% on credit cards which is disappointing but not a deal breaker, so bring cash when you can to help pinch those pennies ( for your new clam coin purse)

The owner was kind and let us know they've been there for 60 years, so stop by when you...

We stopped in The Blue Mussel shop on 5th Ave Naples tonight while strolling beautiful 5th Ave . What a great store with unique Gifts , Art , shells and many cool items to see . I was lucky enough to meet the owners Page and Evan. They’re wonderful, sweet and knew a lot about each item in their store . They also display items from local Artists. It’s such a fun and affordable gift shop. I highly recommend it. We’ll definitely be back Patsy...
