Mother of pearl
Mother-of-pearl is the inner layer of a seashell. When exposed to light from different angles, it changes its colour and shine, which has always made it interesting for the production of jewellery.
In antique furniture we find mother-of-pearl, among other things, as a material for fine and high-quality inlays and marquetry.
