Nacre, sometimes referred to as mother of pearl, is an organic-inorganic composite substance made of calcium carbonate and a protein known as conchiolin. The inner layer of some mollusks' shells, such those of oysters and abalones, is where it is most frequently discovered. Mother of Pearl is a common material for decorative uses, such as in jewelry, inlay work, and buttons, due to its high luster and smooth, iridescent surface. Additionally, it is employed in the production of cutlery, musical instruments, and other ornamental items. Mother of Pearl is regarded as a valuable material that has been used for thousands of years and is highly esteemed for its beauty, toughness, and adaptability.
