Stones reveal themselves - mother-of-pearl
Mother-of-pearl is attractive for its white color and iridescent reflections. Mother-of-pearl jewelry is highly prized, as it is one of the most appreciated and sought-after gemstones. The luminous, iridescent stone stands out elegantly on tanned skin, making it the perfect stone for summer. Mother-of-pearl jewelry requires care, however, as it is still a living organic material. Contact with chemicals, toxic products and water should be avoided, as they may alter the color of the stone.
WHAT IS mother-of-pearl?
Mother-of-pearl is a white organic and mineral material that displays iridescent rainbow reflections depending on the light. It is a material found on the inner lining of certain shellfish. Mother-of-pearl is composed of aragonite crystals and a thin layer of conchyoline. This protein layer ensures the material's toughness.
The stone's luminous reflections in its many soft, subtle colors make mother-of-pearl jewelry unique.
what does mother-of-pearl symbolize?
Mother-of-pearl is the symbol of maternity and femininity. The fine stone represents softness and tenderness. That's why mother-of-pearl jewelry is the perfect birthday gift for a mother or Mother's Day present.
The fine stone is also known to soothe digestive disorders and stimulate the immune system. Mother-of-pearl is also said to soothe nervous tension and regulate emotions, anxiety and stress.
how to care for mother-of-pearl jewelry
Mother-of-pearl is a living organic material, so great care must be taken to avoid altering its color or damaging the stone. To prevent your mother-of-pearl jewelry from yellowing, avoid contact with toxic and chemical products such as perfume, cosmetics and cleaning products. We also advise you not to leave your mother-of-pearl jewelry in seawater or clear water, which could alter the white color of the fine stone. We recommend using a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the white stone.
