Mother-of-pearl – also known as nacre – is the shimmering inner layer of marine mussels, consisting of fine, layered calcium carbonate platelets. This special layered structure refracts light and creates the characteristic, iridescent mother-of-pearl luster. The round discs with a central hole (25 mm outer diameter, 16 mm inner diameter) offer a generous display surface for the mother-of-pearl shimmer and are excellent for expressive necklaces, as pendants, or as design elements in jewelry. Mother-of-pearl has been valued for jewelry and handicrafts for millennia.
