About Mother of Pearl
Mother of pearl (nacre) is the iridescent inner lining of mollusk shells, composed of alternating layers of aragonite platelets and conchiolin protein that produce spectacular iridescent colors through thin-film light interference. It has been harvested from marine and freshwater bivalves and abalone since prehistoric times and has been used extensively in jewelry inlay, buttons, decorative objects, and as a writing support in marquetry. Major commercial sources include the Persian Gulf, Australia, French Polynesia, and the Philippines, where pearl oysters are cultured for both nacre and pearls.
