| How about carving & casting a gold snail body coming out of the shell and mounting it on a piece of red, orange or black coral? It might make either a nice brooch or a pendant with that. Marc http://www.flyrodjewelry.com/home.html Last edited by J Marcus; 08-02-2008 at 06:56 AM. Reason: grammer |

| New Zealand Natural Pearl, I *dig* your designs!!! Unforgettable. I can hardly wait to see what you do with the nacre-coated worm shell (???) How about an ammonite "face" and tentacles in gold emerging from where the shell's opening was? gemstone eyes... The tentacles could incorporate the bail: http://www.twoguysfossils.com/kids.htm CarolK |
