A recent thift store find, a shell jewellery box! <3 I’m not sure if the shell on the outside is real or not, because of the crackle effect, but it does look a lot like abalone shell. It does also feel colder than room temperature, which is a sign it could be real shell, but I’m not sure.
The shell that it’s framed over is real though, but I’ve covered it on the inside with dark green corduroy, since it had old pen markings on it that wouldn’t come off, and I figured it could use some padding to avoid scratching what I put in it. And now that it has fabric lining inside, it makes a nice low, muffled clack sound when it closes, kinda like the closing sound of a fabric ring box ♡(˶^◡^˶)♡
I took a picture next to one of my abalone shells for comparison, as well as with the grey pearl necklace I made a while ago, since I thought they all looked good together ❀˚₊·⋆。

I got some cute abalone shell coffins. This is the first piece I’ve made with one of them and I love it so much.

Freshly gilded with marbled silver and abalone shell. A WIP.

Here is a little something I'm working on! None of pictures I've taken right now will do the subtle colors of the shell and pearl justice.
It is made out of copper, lapis lazuli, pearl, and abalone shell.
I plan on making a making bracelet and earring set later. I had to stop since I got a migraine.
