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 rearranged the treasure box on my main altar display for more of a sea theme. There are mostly fossils on display here, consisting of shark teeth, ammonites, pieces of coral and orthoceras fossils.
