Princess Oceana is the loveliest mermaid of all the world's oceans. She lives far, far beneath the waves in her kingdom beneath the sea. In her hair she wears the luminous pearls and incandescent sea shells that can be found lying on the soft sand of her palace lagoon. She is so fond of their beauty that she is willing to share them with us here above in the human world. Every night, when it is very dark and quiet, Princess Oceana and her mermaid maidens come to the surface and leave these seashells on the shoreline for us to find. It is her wonderful gift to each of us to cherish forever.
