Mother-of-pearl, from ancient to modern captured the heart of women

The beautiful and magnificent sea has always been a place people aspire to, and the mysterious atmosphere unique to the sea has given rise to many beautiful fairy tales. And mother-of-pearl, the material from the sea, presents the charming colors of the ocean in the best way.

Selected mother-of-pearl from the bottom of the sea, after fine processing, can show white, pink, blue, black and other colors. The excellent antioxidant properties make it long-lasting and constant in its distinctive beauty. Especially in the sunlight on the surface of mother-of-pearl, the shimmering light shines and the color changes.

Mother-of-pearl is also known as white mother-of-pearl, in fact, is the pearl shell, because the thickness of the aragonite sheet covering the mother-of-pearl tends to be close to the wavelength of visible light, a variety of different wavelengths of visible light interfere with each other, so that when you look at the mother-of-pearl from a different angle, you can see different colors of the reflected light, the exquisite luster is unparalleled.

Because the luster and texture of each natural mother-of-pearl is different, the work it produces is unique in the world. Because of this unique beauty, mother-of-pearl has an even more irresistible appeal to women. It is not surprising, after all, even the Queen of Naples fell for it more than 200 years ago.

In 1812, Abraham-Louis Breguet created a timepiece that could be worn on the wrist of the Queen of Naples, Caroline Murat, thus opening the era of the wristwatch. This timepiece is said to be the world's first wristwatch, with a mother-of-pearl dial, and 200 years later, Breguet's descendants launched the Queen of Naples collection of wristwatches and jewelry in tribute to their ancestor and to their own association with women.

Throughout the long history of Eastern and Western cultures, mother-of-pearl has been used not only for the more familiar decoration of watches. In the 16th century, mother-of-pearl carvings were used extensively in altarpieces, and later in the mother-of-pearl inlays that are now on display in the Tokapi Palace Museum. Nowadays, watchmakers and jewelry designers of the major luxury brands have reclaimed mother-of-pearl, a material with a unique luster and texture, from the forgotten corners of the world and given it a new dimension.
