Nice.
It's a long tradition that goes back to 1300 in China.
 
I like the variety in the images. Hope to see something when finished?

Is that a mabe pearl because of the implant, or is it mother of pearl because it is flat on the shell?
 
Hmmm, they are quite common in the Far East as pendants in a simple setting.

yup i have seen them during shows before as well i bought them just to add to my collection so i will leave them in the shells

i bought a parcel and keep 4 or 5 and the rest will just be sold as funny objects the nacre layer is quite thin i think ,2 mm some you clearly see the implant under the layer

guess you can call it mabe its not totally flat they are around 4mm thick no idea actually
