ABOUT THE GEM
Mother-of-pearl is the iridescent lining found on the inside of the shells of some mollusc's such as large oysters, abalones, pearl mussels and paua shells. The multi-colored shimmer of Mother of Pearl is caused by variations in the mollusc’s diet as well as conditions in the environment.
Mother-of-pearl has been used for years in gold and silver rings, necklaces, brooches and buttons. This classic material is also used for jewellery, inlay work, combs, knife handles, playing-card cases and fans.
The most important characteristic of Mother of Pearl is lustre. (The way the light is caught by the mother-of-pearl and returned to the viewer’s eye). Very reflective and distinctive colored mother-of-pearl can make elegant earrings and necklaces with a vintage feel.
Mother-of-pearl is believed to reduce stress and is used in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve anxiety and promote calmness and peace of mind.
