    I knew I had seen a Gems & Gemology  article on conch shells only I
    didn't realize how long ago that was.  The Winter 1987, Vol. 23, No.
    4 issue has a cover story on conch pearls by Emmanuel Fritsch and
    Elise B. Misiorowski.  The cover of the magazine shows a beautiful
    necklace and a pair of earrings with conch pearls.  There are
    photos, history of conch pearls in jewelry, biology of the Strombus
    Gigas mollusk and its fisheries, gemology and a bibliography in the
    magazine.  You can probably contact GIA for a reprint or possibly a
    back issue. 

HTH,
Donna Shimazu
