    I have a beautiful mother of pearl pure silver dipped sea shell. It's gorgeous 5" x 5" real sea shell with fabulous markings. Don't know anything about it apart from I loved it when I purchased it 20years ago. Hoping someone on this forum can enlighten me of who may have decorated it.

    Yeah. Looks like some of the natural surface of the shell was removed, revealing the "mother of pearl" underneath.A turban shell?

    I take it there are no markings anywhere on the "silver?"
