China mother-of-pearl bracelet with 5-6mm balls

Mother-of-pearl is an organic substance secreted by certain mollusks, notably pearl oysters. Composed of microscopic layers of aragonite and conchiolin, it boasts a unique crystalline structure that creates characteristic iridescent reflections. This natural gem has a moderate hardness (2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale) and is distinguished by its incomparable pearly luster. Traditionally associated with purity and serenity, mother-of-pearl is renowned for its calming properties and its ability to harmonize energies. Its pearly white luster with iridescent hues makes it a prized stone for fine jewelry and mineralogical collections.
