Stylish Shimmer: 10 Mother-of-pearl jewellery pieces to covet
We just can’t get enough of elegant and subtly eye-catching jewellery.
Shining, shimmering, splendid… seems like that famous Aladdin song was talking about the iridescent properties of mother-of-pearl.
“Nacre” is actually the proper term for the colourful jewellery component. Originating from the inner shell layer of certain sea molluscs, the strong and resilient material also makes up the outer coating of pearls, which is perhaps where the moniker “mother-of-pearl” came from.
Commonly used in delicate ornaments and jewellery, mother-of-pearl brings a soft sheen that catches the eye in a subtle manner. The dials of many expensive luxury timepieces feature mother-of-pearl to exude an extravagant, opulent appearance.
It is said that mother-of-pearl can be used to heighten intuition and attract prosperity. You might want to buy a piece of mother-of-pearl jewellery as a gift for a loved one. Check out the gallery above for 10 gorgeous and elegant mother-of-pearl jewellery items that we have curated just for you.
