Nacre

Mesmerizing and iridescent, mother of pearl is one of the most ethereal materials ever to be birthed from mother nature's maw, perhaps inspiring you to wonder about the various mother of pearl meanings a time or two. Formed inside the shells of mollusks, this nacre has been harvested and set into various pieces of jewelry for hundreds of years. Yet, its beauty belies a unique symbolic history that can gift wearers with balance; so, take a deeper look at this milky material and its natural properties.

Nacre - also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer. It is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent.
Ancient cultures attributed different meanings and spiritual purposes to the materials from their natural world, and according to the tenets of feng shui, mother of pearl symbolizes good luck and prosperity. Wearing jewelry made with mother of pearl will attract wealth to the person wearing it. Due to this, nacre accessories have been gifted to people as tokens of good luck.
Supposedly, mother of pearl has a profound calming quality that many wearers benefit from. In a way, the mother of pearl mixes with the fluctuations of your emotions to bring you back to a centered place. By centering yourself, you're able to have better mental engagement as well as communicate your thoughts and feelings more clearly. So, if you've found yourself struggling to regulate your emotions, maybe it's time to add a mother of pearl pendant or ring to your daily wardrobe.

Mother-of-pearl shell jewellery is considered organic jewellery, yet not always renewable. Therefore, environmental concerns have led to some designers using only vintage mother-of-pearl shell or selecting shell rough by the ecological stability of the pearl or seafood farm from which it came.
Natural mother-of-pearl shell has tremendous spiritual value for those whose high goals and attitudes keep them feeling stressed.

Mother-of-pearl shell is commonly believed to attract prosperity and is often used in mystical work and lore to heighten intuition, psychic sensitivity and imagination. It is believed that mother-of-pearl shell offers soothing, motherly protection from negative energy and love.
