Nacreous

na·cre·ous
[ney-kree-uhs]

adjective
1. of or pertaining to nacre.

2. resembling nacre; lustrous; pearly.

We spent a long time at the beach this morning, searching for suitably nacreous shells in the sand and the surf, but all we could come up with were some dull, pale brown shells that looked like old toenails! We did have fun digging holes, finding seaweed and odd-shaped rocks, and even an old fishing lure which Jackson has brought back to the house as his treasure for the day.

So here instead is a fancy, pearly looking shell with silver embellishments which is just about as nacreous as anyone could wish for.
