Coral and Mother of Pearl

Angel Skin Coral with Mother of Pearl beads. 16 inch with Sterling clasp. 

Pink-to-red coral has a long history as an ornamental gem material in jewelry, carvings, and sculptures.

Mother-of-pearl shell for jewelry refers to the nacre that coats the inside layer of the mollusk shell which is used to form pearls--hence, it's the mother of the pearl.  It is said to be a powerful and very symbolic material. This symbolism is because it is believed to have the ability to attract wealth and generate a better income for whoever wears it.
