Mother Of Pearl shell is a natural material that comes from the ocean.  Also known as Nacre, it is the smooth, shiny, iridescent layer that forms inside of the shell of some mollusks, especially oysters and abalones.

Mother Of Pearl has been used for thousands of years.  This material was so prized that many seaside cultures became incredibly wealthy through harvesting it during ancient times.  Not only would they use it for jewelry, but also for decorating furniture, art, and even musical instruments.

Mother Of Pearl is said to have a calming effect on those that wear it, reducing stress and aggressiveness.  It is believed that the shell offers soothing, motherly protection from negative energy.
