A beautiful product of some shells that can be used to make gemstones and jewelry is an organic material known as mother-of-pearl or nacre.

Mother-of-pearl has been used for decorative purposes since ancient times, especially as inlay. Mother-of-pearl was found in ancient Egyptian tombs and in the ancient Sumerian Tombs of Ur, dating back to around 2600-2400 BC. These Sumerian burial sites were found in Southern Iraq. One object found containing mother-of-pearl inlay was a decorated ostrich eggshell. The mother-of-pearl formed a mosaic with lapis lazuli stones.

Native American Indians had been using mother-of-pearl for hundreds of years before mother-of-pearl inlay became popular in the West during the Victorian era. Intricate mother-of-pearl inlay work was introduced to the USA and Britain during world industry exhibitions. This included carvings from Palestine and Chinese lacquer furniture with exquisitely detailed mother-of-pearl inlay, going back to the Shang Dynasty. Such beautiful objects led to an explosion of mother-of-pearl products in the West.

White, cream and pink nacre is prized for its purity of color and is used in cosmetics, such as face creams that impart a pearly luster and illuminate the facial skin. The luster of mother-of-pearl is the result of both surface and internal reflection of light. Typically, a thicker layer of nacre produces a more impressive luster, thus, the most valuable pearls have sharp, bright reflections.

The gemstone and jewelry industry revolves around the use of beautiful natural materials, and mother-of-pearl is no exception. Mother-of-pearl can be used for various jewelry items, such as necklace pendants, inlaid rings, earrings and bracelets. This iridescent organic treasure is appropriate for inlay work, cameos and other carvings. It may also be used as gemstone slices, doublets or triplets.
