Mother of Pearl pendant with Opal set in Sterling Silver.  This piece was handcrafted by local Artisans in Bali Indonesia.  The Silver work on this piece is all done by hand, each dot of silver hand placed onto this piece.

Mother of pearl (also known as nacre), is a material created by certain mollusks as an inner shell layer.

It’s a slow-forming material made from calcium carbonite, conchiolin, and a material similar to silk. This process gives the mollusk the ability to find protection from bacteria and a strong armor.

It also gives it a beautiful iridescent color that really catches the eye
