Old Antique Mother Of Pearl Dyed and Polshed Discs & Heart Pendant Necklace

Dyed mother of pearl beads are crafted from the shells of mollusks, specifically the iridescent inner layer known as nacre, which is found in shells such as abalone, pearl oysters, and certain types of freshwater mussels. Mother of pearl is highly regarded for its beautiful luster and shimmering appearance.

These beads are often made by shaping and carving the mother of pearl material into various bead shapes and sizes. They are then dyed using pigments or dyes to achieve different colors. Common colors for dyed mother of pearl beads include vibrant shades like blue, green, pink, purple, and many others.
