Description

Pearl nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, is a crystalline substance that creates the iridescent visual effect attributed to pearls. Nacre is an organic substance secreted over an intruding irritant or implanted nucleus by molluscan shells, composed of alternating layers of aragonite platelet and organic materials film. It is a strong and resilient material that is lightweight and transparent, allowing light to pass through its surface, creating a subtle glow on the pearl’s surface
