Named for the lustrous lining of the oyster shell, mother of pearl is said to provide protection to those who wear it. The buttery smooth layer of nacre that keeps the creature safe from external debris glows with a soft iridescence that lends itself beautifully to jewelry. A fine gem choice for overall calm and relaxation, traditional white mother of pearl cleans up well in bright gold, or take on a moodier, stormy sense in its black variety, often displaying subtle washes of color deep within.
