Very often nacre is confused with pearls and not accidentally…. Despite the fact that they are very different materials, they have a lot in common. For example, the composition!
Pearls form as growths on a grain of sand caught in the shell of a mollusk. And nacre is the inside of this very shell. So in terms of composition, mother of pearl and pearls are the same! Even the name speaks for itself: in German “perl” means pearl and “mutter” means mother. So nacre is the mother of pearls!

You may ask, “Why then is there such a difference in price?” It is simple, pearls are valued for their pearl size, but nacre does not come in the form of a ball, it is much bigger in nature and requires additional processing.
Mother-of-pearl comes in many different shades in nature. It depends on the location of the clams and their species. However, the most valuable is white with blue or pink overtones.
