Featured White carved coral bangle

I have gone through thinking coral, stone , glass and full circle back to coral again as on close inspection with a loupe I can see the fine lines and tell tale dotty areas.
I thought it would be dead easy to Google this and find lots of examples but I can’t find any!
Is this tourist tat or something nicer? It’s quite heavy although sadly a bit small for my hand to fit through
It is very white apart from a few brown lines so likely bleached?
Thanks for any information on this

 

KSW, is it cool to the touch? Kind of looks like shell to me. Interesting, never seen one like it before.

edit: google lens gives quite a few shell examples that look similar if not exact...

Seen these aplenty in my life but don't know, so following.
I have one in gold colored plastic that I wear out often!

 

It could be shell yes, that’s a good call! Does shell have the fine lines and dots running through it?
Conch shells are quite big aren’t they so easily big enough for a bangle.
It’s cold and heavy.

 

Yep, conch shell IMO.
You always find cool things!

 

I'm not really sure about the fine lines and dots, but I did notice in some of the google lens results that streak of off white color that you can see on yours.

Sorry I can't be more help, I don't get many shell items.

 

Looking at your link it’s definitely conch.
Thanks Tie Dye!

 

You're certainly welcome.

 

I buy what I don’t understand, looks interesting or that you guys have educated me to look out for! Oh and it has to be cheap too

 

Lovely bangle K. It could be Indonesian. I bought a carved shell ring on Bali. It was too big, but I hoped my thin teen fingers would grow into it. They never did, not that much. I come across it occasionally when rummaging through boxes.

She does, and for amazingly low prices too!
Kyra, we should move to the UK.

 

Another closet Dutch girl. I always sus them out, they are so conspicuous.

 

Is that Taylor Swift in front of a windmill ? I'm ready to buy a metal detector and move to the UK (but pay Portuguese Taxes).
