Featured Carved Conch Shell

I like it but not an intricate design and probably not old so I guess nothing special?
Thanks

 

Pretty though.

 

I know you probably get tired of me saying "I have something like this", but it's true...I have a necklace made of a smaller carved shell just like this. It came from Florida in 1975 when we were in Lauderdale. Gift shop items. I think they're made in the Philippines.

 

Not tired at all
The problem that I have in general with " I have something like this .." is that sometimes the info can be useful and sometimes misleading.
Like, let's say, " I have a similar Chinese plate". It can look like mine, same decoration, colors etc... but there maybe be very important minor differences that makes yours a recent and cheap piece and mine could be antique expensive item.
You know wha I'm saying?

 

Are those koi?

 

It's not a conch, it's a turban shell, fairly recent item, would have been sold in seaside tourist shops in various locations - a great green turban (Turbo marmoratus). Here's a similar pair that the seller has listed several times: http://m.ebay.com/itm/262404141647

I do know what you're saying, but when I say I have something similar it usually is followed by my explanation for age, possible value, etc. I'm confirming that I have knowledge of that type of item even if it's not exact. What are you looking for when you ask if it isn't our best guess based on our experience? I stopped answering your posts awhile back because all you seem to do is criticize when I do. I guess I'll go back to ignoring you since you're so prickly about answers.

 

You could do the Googling yourself and not even bother to ask us if you don't like our answers.

 

I'd never have a problem with someone saying "I have something like that" - any little bit of information to identify a piece one is asking about would be greatly appreciated,

 

Conch shells carved in a similar fashion turn up here every so often; I even found one carved for the Jewish New Year once. Value depends on age and the quality of the carving. Shells like this...dunno.

 

Oh Gosh, here we go again.
I wonder why I have this type of discussions only with you? I guess it's not me because I get along with everybody else.
You should stop taking everything personal. And maybe pay more attention to what I'm writing.
I said in general, not specifically for the necklace you have. And I also said that in some cases the info can be useful. But you skipped that part. I don't see anything wrong people to be cautious when comparing pieces.
It is important to pay attention to the little details as two pieces that look similar can be completely different in origin, age, value etc.

 

I guess that's why!!
