About this item  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. Natural mother-of-pearl shell is found all over the world and is more common than pearl. This is because the mollusks that produce pearls will always have a shell but will very rarely contain a pearl. 12mm Faceted. 15" Strand. Approximately 34 beads per strand.
