Black Mother Of Pearl Jewelry

Black mother of pearl jewelry has the same mystery and beauty as much sought-after black pearls. This gem is actually the same substance as the golden pearls that oysters and mussels create, but black mother of pearl is cut from the mullosk's shell.

One aspect of black mother of pearl jewelry is its orient. This cast of color is often green or rainbow-hueed, giving black mother of pearl jewelry a stunning iridescent quality. These fabulous gems can range from a pearly black to a dove gray in color.

Black mother of pearl jewelry is widely available today in a variety of fabulous precious metals, including sterling silver. You'll also find black mother of pearl jewelry set in white or yellow gold.

Although most black mother of pearl jewelry is found in magnificent inlay designs, beads are popular, too. Whether they are classic round orbs or marvelous baroque shapes, these lustrous black gemstones are often strung for necklaces and bracelets. You'll also find black mother of pearl beads as dangles on earring and pendants.

Mother of pearl is easily carved, and you'll find magnificent black mother of pearl pendants carved into flowers or cameos. Some stones have carvings on the surface as well, featuring animals and other designs.
