Sterling Silver Shell/ Coral Pendant? Very Unique and Unusual

[Omega]

Hey. Found this at the swap meet last week for $60. I have never seen anything like it so I decided to buy it. Solid sterling silver with what looks to be like a shell with mother of pearl inlay, and then orange coral as well. Does anyone have any additional insight on the piece? I'm having a hard time finding anything on it and have no idea how to list it on eBay. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

The two pendants on the side look like orange spiny oyster shell.

Very handsome and well made piece. I don't think it's MOP inlay, I think the shell's outer covering is removed to expose the mop/nacre interior... so it shows by subtraction, rather than addition. Love the linkage style of the chain. No markings anywhere?
