Mother of Pearl Jewelry
Mother of Pearl is also known as Nacre. Mother Of Pearl appears in a variety of colors from white to black and nearly every other color in between. It derives its color from its genetic make-up, food, trace metals in the water and to a lesser extent the depth and salt content of the water. Queen Elizabeth I of England was the first to name "Mother of Pearl" since the nacre is the mother of a pearl. Scroll to the bottom of the page for care of your mother of pearl jewelry.

Rhapsody in Blue
Another piece of mother of pearl jewelry that shakes up the idea that mother of pearl is traditional, conventional, or only black or white. Blue mother of pearl squares are a sky blue or light denim blue and are a great match for the "Jewels" lampwork beads by Burt Gumeson, and faceted nuggets of blue topaz. Sterling silver is everywhere in this bracelet, and in fact, the second strand of this unique bracelet is a sterling silver hand-decorated chain of large long links from the Thai Karen Hill Tribes. A sturdy toggle clasp in sterling silver is the closure.
