The cypraea shell comes from the cowrie, a group of small to large marine gastropods from the family Cypraeidae, kingdom of animalia.

Today, it is still very popular not just as a collector's item but also as a decorative accessory.

Let's go to the appearance of cypraea shell. There is really no exact appearance for this shell since it all depends on the species where it comes from. If it's from cypraea moneta, you can expect a white to straw-color with gold-colored ring around the dorsal area. But usually, for all the other species, you'll see the shell in colorful patterns and with a size of about 30 to 45 millimeters long. Also, it's smooth and shiny.
