    Since I was the original poster of this tread, I guess I should have
    been more specific. These are box turtle shells, not sea turtle
    shells. I bought them from an antiques dealer who said people find
    them dead on their farms and save the shell because they are
    "pretty". She usually sells them to people to put on bookcases as
    decorations (seems odd to me but that's what she said). I don't
    believe turtles are being killed for this purpose (or for even being
    bookcase do-dads). So, am I in trouble if I use the shell in jewelry
    but am I'm ok if put them on my holiday tree?
