About Us

Nature’s Own Gallery – Where the Earth Meets Art

Welcome to Nature’s Own Gallery, a family-owned gem on the Santa Barbara coast since 1981. Nestled on historic Stearns Wharf, our little shop has become a beloved destination for ocean lovers, rock hounds, curious kids, crystal collectors, and anyone who finds joy in the beauty of nature.

We specialize in jewelry, shells, fossils, minerals, and ocean-inspired decor—sourced with heart and curated with care. From hand-polished moonstone rings to ancient ammonites and shimmering abalone, every piece in our collection tells a story millions of years in the making.

In 2024, our family became the next steward of this incredible shop, keeping the legacy alive while bringing in fresh designs, rare finds, and a bit of modern magic. We’re passionate about connecting people to the Earth’s wonders—whether that’s through a healing stone bracelet, a giant fossilized geode, or a thoughtful gift from the sea.

We believe beauty shouldn’t just be seen—it should be felt. That’s why we focus on craftsmanship, intention, and a personal touch. Our online shop features exclusive items you won’t find in-store, making it easier than ever to bring a piece of Santa Barbara home with you.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply stumbled upon us while chasing seagulls on the wharf—welcome. We’re so glad you’re here.
