Mother-of-Pearl: Treasure of the Sea

Mother-of-pearl, known for its durability, strength, and captivating beauty, is a highly valued material in various forms of art. Often referred to as the "Mother of Pearls," this name is derived from the words "mutter" (mother) and "pearl." The variations in mother-of-pearl depend on the habitat of the shells and the plankton they consume, which form this protective layer.

Historically, mother-of-pearl has been used in crafting cups believed to cure diseases of the one who drinks from them. It was also thought that earrings or ornaments made from mother-of-pearl could restore hearing. Found even on the walls of Emperor Nero’s palace, mother-of-pearl was believed to have the power to appease the gods. Today, it is widely used in the jewelry industry and for inlaying musical instruments and furniture.

Whether you prefer natural pearl-colored mother-of-pearl or enjoy colorful varieties, we have everything you need for your summer projects involving this material. If you’re still looking for inspiration, here are some creative ways to incorporate mother-of-pearl into your work:

Jewelry

Jewelry is one of the most popular uses of mother-of-pearl. The good news is that it pairs perfectly with both silver and gold, as well as leather and non-precious metals. Its iridescence makes it versatile for various combinations in jewelry making. Mother-of-pearl also pairs well with semi-precious and precious stones like aquamarine, quartz, opalite, and pearls. Mother-of-pearl beads and stones are durable and adaptable to various forms of processing. That said, you are free to explore different techniques.
