About Mother-of-Pearl Inlay
The Art of Mother-of-Pearl Inlay: A Timeless Craft\n\nMother-of-pearl inlay is one of the most revered decorative arts in the world, with a history spanning over a thousand years. This exquisite craft transforms natural seashells into stunning works of art, creating iridescent patterns that shimmer and change color as light catches them from different angles.\n\nWhat is Mother-of-Pearl?\n\nMother-of-pearl, also known as nacre, is the iridescent inner layer found in certain mollusk shells.
