Information on Mother of Pearl

Mother of pearl is basically the lining of shells or a mollusk. Tortoiseshell on the other hand is the lining of the hawksbill turtle.

Pearls are formed when a foreign particle enters an oyster or mussel. The mollusc then secretes a nacre around that particle. Nacre is mostly calcium carbonate(CaCO3) but can also contain a small amount of conchiolin which are fragments of the outer shell of the mollusc.

Real Silver

All the necklaces are hand-crafted from sterling quality silver. They are dispatched in a large silver jewellery velvet bag thereby making them a wonderful choice of gift.

We have a range of earrings to match and currently we have some mother of pearl stud earrings at a special introductory offer.

The mother of pearl is naturally water-proof and reasonably tough, although it is moderately brittle which is why its used as an inlay as the surrounding silver protects it.
