Mother of Pearl

The iridescent shimmering lining of certain shells is known as the Mother of Pearl (abbrev. MOP) so named as it is used to seed cultured pearl. This spectacular lining and its ability to be easily carved into various shapes makes mother of pearl shell popular in the making of jewelry today.
