Origins of Mother of Pearl
Mother of pearl (nacre) is resilient against exterior elements as it forms in the inner shell layer, a combination of minerals naturally secreted by the oysters and other mollusks.
Mother of pearl is distinctive in appearance with its striking shimmer reminiscent of the sea’s tranquility with its pastel tones reflecting the light. Strong and durable, mother of pearl is frequently used as a delicate, thin inlaid layer for jewelry and watches, exuding effortless sophistication with its naturally gorgeous texture and unique formation.

Mother of pearl is a popular material used in decorative arts, jewelry-making, and artistic creations since ancient times and throughout many worldwide cultures. The combination of lacquer and mother of pearl can be traced to many Asian artifacts in China, Japan, Korea and many South East Asian countries from as early as the twelfth century. Today, mother of pearl is frequently sought-after for its stylistic versatility, appearing in modern jewelry and watches.
