What do I need to do to the oyster shells in order to make it into jewelry? Do I need to put anything on it?

Usually they are run through a rock tumbler to polish them up.
Forget tumbling! You need to buy Muriatic Acid (get any hardware store - used to whiten cement and masonry). Mix 1part acid to 2 parts water in a plastic or glass container (no metal! it will etch/damage it). Have a second container full of water for rinsing. Wear HEAVY rubber gloves and use cheap plastic tongs or a small plastic collander on a long handle to remove shells from from the acid solution.
