I went to the beach today and found a beautiful shell. I loved it so much because of the texture. I want to make it into a necklace.

I thought about resin, but I know nothing about resin, than I would have to get the equipment and materials and my wallet already has more than 1 hole Crying or Very sad

Than I thought about plaster and glazing it.

I want to sit the shell in something set to create like a pendant.

Any ideas Idea

I'm not much help here chrissy, but I do want to say I think it's a brilliant idea. It's really nice when a peice of jewellery really means something to you. So I say go forth with whatever you're doing =)

Resin could be good, or if you're feeling gutsy, you could set it in pure silver.

Art Clay Silver is a lot like a ceramic clay, you mould it into the shape you want, then you fire it with a butane/creme brulee torch ($25 at a cooking store), buff the white residue off, polish it up and its solid, 99% pure silver.

Magic!
