Freshwater pearls are very durable as they have a thicker nacre, comparing to their saline living
relatives. This type of pearl can be white, pink, and even peach color.
Mother-of-pearl, also known as nacre, is a substance that forms the inner layer of certain mollusk
shells. The material gets its name from its lustrous, pearly appearance. The iridescence of the
mother of pearl results from the way light interacts with the layers of crystals within the material.

settings. The smooth and lustrous surface of MOP is frequently used to complement other
gemstones or materials.
