What is mother-of-pearl and why should you use it in your DIY creations?
Mother-of-pearl , also known as sea pearl , is a natural material of timeless elegance. Formed inside mollusk shells, it is made up of layers of aragonite, a crystalline form of calcium carbonate. Mother-of -pearl seduces with its unique iridescent shine and organic softness, making it a popular material in the world of DIY jewelry and creative hobbies .
Origin and characteristics of mother-of-pearl
Mother-of-pearl comes mainly from pearl oysters and other marine shells. Its shimmering surface, often called the "rainbow effect", is due to the refraction of light on its microscopic layers. This material is not only aesthetic, but also resistant, making it an ideal base for sustainable craft creations .
The advantages of mother-of-pearl:
- Timeless elegance: Its subtle reflections match all styles, from classic to modern.
