Shell with pearl

[Renny]

Hello, I'm new to the forum and completely inexperienced with natural pearls.
Greetings to all forum members, I'd like to ask if you could help me describe this pearl I found at a flea market.
The pearl is approximately 12 mm in diameter. What is its value?
Thank you.

I think it's something pretty to have on your desk.
I can't tell if the pearl formed attached to the shell or if it was glued on later. In any case, I don't think the pearl itself is valuable.

It's an akoya pearl which judging by the surrounding structure is definitely attached to the shell naturally.

It's a cultured pearl and the shell has been cleaned up at the edges.

Ornamental value only.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was thinking something similar, too.

Lovely!!!! Natural pearls are "as found", while cultured involve humans. Most natural pearls are Not round. Akoyas are cultured.
