When I was working as an apprentice at the famous firm, shells of any kind were all the rage.  We spent thousands of dollars on shell-encrusted mirrors, tables, picture frames.  I was never into it.  But the clients and my boss were, so bring on the sea!!!

In other words, this Oyster Shell Box from Ballard Designs ($99, was $169) is a great piece (or was in 2004), and we should all have one.  No pressure.  Go forth and get a high-end look on clearance!
