Our Mother of Pearl Range

Our mother of pearl range just keep growing in popularity, with our customers being drawn to beautiful iridescent patterns and pop of colour these accessories bring to their home.  Our mother of pearl homewares range now including trays, coasters, trinket boxes, photo frames, tissue boxes, mirrors, a lamp and even furniture.  We adore the lustre of the shell and the pop of the resin colour around it. Similar to bone inlay furniture but at a more affordable price point.

Our team have fun designing the range, patterns and colours in house. We view each handcrafted piece as a work of art that will instantly add texture and interest to any space.

What is mother of pearl?

Mother of pearl, known for its iridescent and shimmering quality which catches the light, is actually made from a natural material that comes from the inner lining of oysters and certain mollusc shells! The shellfish secrete a substance called nacre, a crystallised mineral compound, which is designed to protect them from parasites. Layer on layer is deposited upon the inner shell over time creating the smooth iridescent surface that mother of pearl is known for. 

How are mother of pearl homewares made?

The shimmering appearance of mother of pearl makes it the ideal decorative material. Artisans carve delicate pieces of Mother of Pearl, which is an extraordinary process with many shapes and sizes required to be cut. These are then individually inlaid onto a wooden frame and glued in intricate patterns. One this is done, layers of coloured resin are then used to fill around the mother of pearl. Slight irregularities between pieces may exist as these are handmade pieces, which makes it even more appealing.

The finished result not just beautiful to look at, but also durable and easy to maintain - simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to keep it looking its best.
