The basic material for Shell Gold (silver) is Powder Gold
that is suspended in a binder to form a drop. In former times this drop was
placed on a natural shell - hence the name Shell Gold.
In principle Shell Gold is used in the same manner as
Powder Gold, except that it already incorporates the glue for further processing.
