I have two shops, one that is attached to my website which has almost no sales wandieortiz.etsy.com and a necklace shop of CLAY necklaces that has almost 100 sales and positive feedback bijouxhibou.etsy.com

My question is this: I am still making necklaces but instead of polymer clay necklaces they will have both original art and prints on my artwork in them. Do I change the name of my already established necklace shop even if its a different style or change the shop name of the one attached to my website?

I'm thinking I need to make the name change on the more established necklace shop and just put my new work in there since I'm starting fresh.

I would change the name in the less established shop, otherwise you're basically starting over. Do you get a lot of traffic to your website? Maybe before changing that, buy a second domain with the new name and have it point to your old site, and also announce the change for awhile so people know.

It might not matter changing the bijouxhibou shop name. Yes you have almost 100 sales, but most of them are old except for one sale from January.

But... As it stands you don't have anything in either shop. How long have they been like that?

If they were my shops I would just use the wandieortiz.etsy.com and make it work for whatever I wanted to sell. It was the less established shop so it already has more of clean slate. I wouldn't see a need to change it's name either.
