Thats a great idea Paipo, can you glue the shell to leather and have it stay awhile?

This stuff might work:

but if I were doing it, I'd cut a shell inlay , match the diameter to a flat headed nail, use the flat head as a punch to make a recess in the leather, and just glue it in with a good 2 part epoxy or craft glue.
