Mother-of-pearl: the iridescent shell of the mollusc from which we obtain the pearl, this outer shell is then cut and worked. In Victorian times mother-of-pearl was used as backings for seed pearl clusters and portrait brooches. In edwardian times mother-of-pearl was very popular for gentlemen’s cufflinks.
Mother of pearl is a natural material that has been used for decorative purposes for centuries. It is an iridescent substance that is found inside the shells of certain mollusks, including oysters and abalone. Mother of pearl has been used in jewelry, furniture, and other decorative items for its beauty and durability.
The history of mother of pearl can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. These cultures used mother of pearl to create intricate designs on jewelry and other decorative items. In the Middle Ages, mother of pearl was used to decorate religious objects, such as crosses and reliquaries.
During the Renaissance, mother of pearl became even more popular in Europe. It was used to decorate furniture, musical instruments, and other luxury items. In the 19th century, the invention of the button-making machine led to a surge in demand for mother of pearl buttons, which were used on clothing and accessories. Today, mother of pearl continues to be used in a variety of decorative applications, from jewelry to home decor.
