Characteristics and peculiarities of mother of pearl
The dial of this watch is made of mother of pearl. But what exactly is it and what is it made of? Mother-of-pearl is a natural bond material of calcium carbonate and organic substances that forms the innermost layer or the entire predominantly mineral part of the shell in certain molluscs. Owing to its special surface structure, which produces a matt, iridescent gloss when exposed to light, it is used in the production of art objects such as, for example, jewelry and decorative buttons.
Mother-of-pearl is generated by numerous molluscs for the construction of their shells, in particular from the pteroid mussels like, among other things, the pearl mussels, the top-snails or the turban snails, the abalones and the nautiluses, which belong to the cephalopods. The colours of mother-of-pearl differ from species and geographical origin. Our watch of the week beams a wonderful blue-green.
