Mother of Pearl Jewelry and a Jewelry addict?


Being the granddaughter of a jewelry addict I've picked up some taste (even if I still can't figure out just how DNA and blood have made us related). No, we don't got shopping together, well sure we do but we just go to the same mall. What my point is we're are not Shopping Buddies. No, we're not that pair from the chick flick you just saw last week where we hover over each other's purchases and go "Like, OMG, that is SO cute!" and start giggling the whole time during the buying process. No, I go to my section of the mall, pick up a pretzel, and she goes...well, I guess this is an obvious piece of evidence we don't go shopping together. I have seen her jewelry boxes though, what's filled with self indulgent buys to gifts to random finds from dog walks. Then additionally being a WikiManiac I wikied it.

And found Nacre. Or more commonly known as the mother of pearl. Narce received its name of Mother of Pearl because, well, it's seriously the real "mother" of true pearls. That's where pearls come from. Narce is the creator of pearls, the inside layer of pearl oyster shells, and freshwater pearl mussel shells. Nacre is also a common inner shell layer of other species of mollusks (type of shells) such as marine gastropods (i.e. Haliotidae, the Trochidae, and Turbinidae) Narce as the inner shell of oysters and said mollusks is a mix of minerals that are used on the inside of their shells as a protection from parasites and other not-supposed-to-be-there kinds of things.

Most mother of pearl are found in pearl oysters from tropical seas from Asia. Many freshwater mussels are found in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Abalone, another popular jewelry piece, are mostly found in California, Japan, and other Pacific regions and of the Indian Ocean off Southern Africa.

Narce on jewelry is commonly used in jewelry. They can be sown onto clothing, and are used decoratively on watch face, knives, and guns. Mother of pearl is a beautiful piece admired by a wide range of ages (something very rare these days). Why, even heiress Nikki Hilton agrees and I'm sure she wouldn't wear just any ol' piece of junk!

I have found a few cute pieces of mother of pearl jewelry here for a very reasonable price. Grandma does not know how to shop on line, which created a great opportunity for me. At least I know where and what to get for her next piece of mother of pearl jewelry for under $20, which she might think it would be at least $120!


Rock on,
Ally Day.
