Oxyclean. Make up a bucket of hot water, put the powder in, and give it a good stir. Then soak your shells for a couple of hours. Rinse them in warm water, and they should be just fine.

I've used Oxyclean to restore 100 year old handmade lace that had turned yellow, and it came out pure white when I was done.

You need to pretreat inside and outside under the arms and wash after each wear in order to prevent buildup. Buildup is hard to get rib of but you can try with vinegar, baking soda and lots of elbow grease aka hard scrubbing.
