Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl or Nacre is created by mollusks to protect their soft interior tissue. The difference between these and pearls is placement, with the former being formed on the inner linings of a shell.

A pearl, on the other hand, is created when a foreign object enters the shell. The mollusk will then encase the foreign object in order to protect itself. The material used to create the encasement is the same nacre.

The end result of this foreign object being encased in nacre is a round-shaped pearl. However, mother of pearl takes the shape of the shell that it lines.

Also, it is believed to have stress-relieving properties, bringing calmness and stimulating intuition and creativity, especially when worn together with Rubellite, a red to pink gemstone from the family of tourmalines.

In addition nacre is an iridescent material composed of calcium carbonate.

The main commercial sources have been the pearl oyster, freshwater pearl mussels, and to a lesser extent the abalone, popular for their sturdiness and beauty in the latter half of the 19th century.
