Mother of pearl (also known as nacre), is a material created by certain mollusks as an inner shell layer.

It’s a slow-forming material made from calcium carbonite, conchiolin, and a material similar to silk. This process gives the mollusk the ability to find protection from bacteria and a strong armor. It also gives it a beautiful iridescent color that really catches the eye. Mother of pearl has been used for thousands of years, and was even found in the tombs of Sumerian royalty. The name “mother of pearl” actually came from the Latin term ‘mater perlarun’. This material was so prized that many seaside cultures became incredibly wealthy through harvesting it during ancient times. Not only would they use it for jewelry, but also for decorating furniture, art, and even musical instruments.
