[Jewelry making - Article 00083] - [Orchid] Attaching Shell to Sterling

Hello Everyone!

    I have just finished fabricating a 1" oval shadow box type pendant
    to house a small sea shell which has been sanded down on both sides
    to expose the intricate inside. 

    My question is... what is the best way to secure the shell to the
    sterling? What is the best adhesive that will continue to hold over
    time? 

    There is a beautiful example in the Spring 2004 Metalsmith on page
    35. Sandra Enterline created "Queen Bee Brooch" and has encased a
    Queen Bee under glass. 

Thanks for your help!
