Mother of pearl Jewelry

Mother of pearls

I love mother of pearl jewelry. I love the the various colors that you could find in a piece of mother of pearl jewelry. I thought I would do some research on this unique jewel.









Mother-of-pearl or nacre ,is the iridescent substance that forms the lining of the shells of some fresh-water and some salt-water mollusks. Like the pearl it is a secretion of the mantle, composed of alternate layers of calcium carbonate and conchiolin. Among the chief sources are the pearl oyster, found in warm and tropical seas, chiefly in Asia; freshwater pearl mussels, which live in many rivers of the United States, Europe, and Asia; and the abalone of California, Japan, and other Pacific regions.
