Mother of Pearl Earrings  

About SRS Mother of Pearl Earrings Collection

You might not be familiar with Nacre when it comes to jewelry and accessories, but this is in fact the formal name for Mother of Pearl. Nacre is a naturally occurring material produced by oysters and a number of other types of shellfish, and is actually the same material as the outer coating of a pearl, which is perhaps where the name Mother of Pearl comes from. The off white luminous beauty of Mother of Pearl means it has been used in the creation of fashion and jewelry for many years- you might be lucky enough to own a shirt, blouse or jacket with Mother of Pearl buttons. But it's in jewelry design that the material truly shines, and if you haven't thought about it already, it's time to consider the beauty of Mother of Pearl earrings.

While it's not usually seen as valuable a material as pearl, many connoisseurs prefer Mother of Pearl, since it has a richer color, with more variations than pearl, and this is certainly evident when it comes to Mother of Pearl earrings. Unlike pearls, which have a natural spherical shape, Mother of Pearl can be shaped into an abundance of different styles, which can look utterly lovely with silver trimmings. Pearls have long been seen as a symbol of elegance and sophistication, and this is a trait shared with Mother of Pearl, but Mother of Pearl can also be hip and trendy, something that pearls often don't achieve, no matter how beautiful they are. If you've never explored the many variations of Mother of Pearl earrings that you can choose from, then you're in for a treat, since this beautiful gift from nature will make a welcome addition to any collection.
