There are mothers. And there is are Mother of Pearl stones. They have more in common that you may
realize. Both my necklace and earrings are made with protective orgaqnic mother of pearls stones.
I did some research. Mother of pearl is the common name for 'nacre'. Nacre is a material that coats
the inside of the pearl, oyster, freshwater pearl mussel, and abalone shells. The pearls already have an
outer layer of nacre.
The smooth nacre in the inner shell surface helps protect (just like a MAMA BEAR) the soft tissue
of the sea creature from external debris. Sweet!
