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.
