The pearl mother, which is the iridescent shell of mollusks such as mussels and oysters, is the source of the nacreous layers that make up pearls. This substance, often called mother-of-pearl gemstone, has a gentle sheen and is available in a variety of colors, from white to opalescent. Because of its dazzling attractiveness, it is frequently used in jewelry, watch dials, and artistic inlays.
Spiritual symbolism associated with intuition, protection, and emotional equilibrium is associated with mother-of-pearl stone. It has been valued for centuries as a symbol of the ocean's mysteries, transcending its aesthetic worth. Because of its delicate light-reflecting properties, each item has a distinct, alluring shine.
