The mollusk deposits it layer by layer inside its shell: plates of aragonite (calcium carbonate) held together by conchiolin, a natural protein. This layering of very fine sheets plays with the light and gives mother-of-pearl its luster. This one comes from freshwater mussel shells, with naturally warm tones. Hardness of 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e keep mother-of-pearl away from perfumes, creams and acidic products, and store it separately to avoid scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSymbolism:\u003c\/strong\u003e since Antiquity, mother-of-pearl has evoked the sea, the moon and femininity; it is traditionally attributed with virtues of softness and serenity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe beads you will receive:\u003c\/strong\u003e the photo shows beads from the same lot as your order; shades and veining are representative of what you will receive, each mother-of-pearl bead being unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% natural product:\u003c\/strong\u003e size, shape and shade may vary slightly from one bead to another.
