Mother-of-Pearl Gemstone:

Mother-of-pearlis the nacreous inner shell coating of pearl-producing mollusks. These creatures have three layers to their shell; the outermost periostracum, followed by a layer ofcalciteand then the innermost layer of nacre (mother-of-pearl). This smooth part of the shell is produced by the mantle of the mollusk as it grows.

Natural mother-of-pearl is found all over the world and is more common than pearl. This is because the mollusks that produce pearls will always have a shell, but will very rarely contain a pearl. A mollusk will produce a pearl to protect its soft body by enclosing a parasite or foreign body in nacre. Sincenatural pearlsare so rare, they areculturedto allow more people to acquire them, but this is not necessary with mother-of-pearl.

Mother-of-pearl has been used for thousands of years; it was used by theancient Egyptiansand Sumerians. Inlay work has also been used in East Asian and Islamic religious art. In the West, mother-of-pearl became extremely popular during theVictorian Era. The Victorians used mother-of-pearl inlay to decorate household items such as knife handles, jewelry boxes, buttons and screens. In the 1880s, the leaders ofLondonstreet traders (known as Costermongers) began to decorate their hand-me-down suits with hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of mother-of-pearl buttons. These people were known as \"Pearly Kings\" and \"Pearly Queens\". Part of the philosophy of the Pearly Kings and Queens was to give to others. This community continues charity work to this day, proudly wearing their pearly suits. TheUSAproduced and exported mother-of-pearl buttons in great quantities, until plastic offered an alternative. Mother-of-pearl inlay is still used to decorate guitars and other musical instruments.
