Mother of Pearl in handcrafted jewelry

Mother of Pearl is iridescent lining of the shell in which a pearl is created.

This shimmering lining is called nacre and is created by the combination of minerals deposited by the oysters and molluscs to protect them from parasites.

It is a wondrous material to use in handcrafted jewelry in its own right.

When combined with pearls, the effects are truly stunning as can be seen in this piece, Riding the Winds.

Mother of Pearl is quite soft in comparison to gemstones and other metals used in jewelry. For this reason it is perfect for carving.

The healing power of Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl has been long known for its healing powers and its ability to revive and revitalize.

It can help decrease blood pressure, dizziness, and cataracts, and improve vision and the healing of wounds.

The mystical power of Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl is popular with soothsayers and fortune tellers across the globe.

It has the power to heighten one’s intuition and psychic powers. It can also be used to increase one’s imaginative powers.

Mother of Pearl can do this because it can protect the wearer from negative energies by absorbing and transmuting it.

Its role inside the oyster’s shell is to absorb bad organic material which have become pollutants.

Many ancient cultures have used it to protect children based on Mother of Pearl’s ability to absorb negative energies.

It can help access primordial and racial memories and it also has the power to attract prosperity.

Whether you are looking to purchase a Mother of Pearl piece for a one-off occasion or for regular wear, remember that it, like pearls, will glow more when worn next to the skin.

This is because the natural oils in our skin are absorbed and add lustre to its surface.

Wearing pearls that glow on your skin is a wonderful way to harness the power of Mother of Pearl.
