Mother of pearl

Mother of pearl meaning 

Mother of pearl is the common name for iridescent nacre, a blend of minerals that are secreted by oysters and other molluscs and deposited inside their shells, coating and protecting them from parasites and foreign objects.

Nacre is the same substance that is deposited around an object that becomes lodged in the mollusc -either naturally or inserted by humans-to become a pearl.

Although pearls are popular today, some past cultures

regarded colourful mother of pearl as a more desirable component for jewellery and other objects.

Jewellery made from mother of pearl falls in the group referred to as organic jewellery –

jewellery that originates from a living creature, plant or organism.
