Abalone Mother of Pearl Moon Bracelet

I made this Abalone Mother of Pearl Bracelet with ethically sourced Abalone and Mother of Pearl Minerals from China and gold stainless steel chain!

It is adjustable (one size fits most), gently pull the circular bead back to put on then gently slide the bead back to a comfortable fit! Looks amazing when layered with my bead bracelets!

📖Crystal properties📖: Mother of Pearl, which is also known as nacre, is an iridescent layer of material that makes up the lining of many mollusks. The iridescent layer shields these creatures from predators by camouflaging them with the sparkle and flash of color produced by the diffraction of light reflected from their inner shell lining. The shining and shimmering appearance of it comes from this nacre covering the inner shell of the mollusks. The iridescent appearance comes from a thin layer being prisms that break white light into its component rainbow colors. The thickness and luster of nacre can be affected by various factors including seasonal changes, diet, and water temperature. Nacre is formed in layers that are not visibly apparent, but when a pearl is cut in half it reveals concentric circles that look like tree rings. The more nacreous layers there are, the finer is the luminosity and iridescence of the pearl. If you want to judge the quality of a pearl, look at the thickness of its nacre. The most common source of this material are Abalone and Pearl oysters. A common use is as an inlay in many musical instruments, furniture, and jewelry pieces. It often comes in white, off-white, and pale pink tones. The name “Mother of Pearl” comes from the Latin term ‘mater perlarun’. They can be extracted from the Persian Gulf, the largest ‘shopping mall’ when it comes to pearl production. Other notable locations include Venezuela, Japan, China, Australia, as well as many Pacific islands and rivers in Europe and North America

📖Crystal properties📖: Abalone is a type of mollusk that has ear-shaped shells, as well as feet and tentacles. It clings to rocks near the shores and is usually consumed by other marine species. The shell of Abalone is highly durable. Microscopic calcium carbonate builds up like bricks and is stuck together by protein layers. These proteins absorb the blows to the Abalone shell, while the calcium carbonate prevents the shells from shattering. It is perhaps no surprise that you might also know of the Abalone shell as the Abalone stone. Because Abalone is known to be the home of underwater animals, the patterns you see within it are often formed and shaped to be this unique because of the seaweed diet of those mollusks. As they eat different seaweed varieties, different patterns form, often in mesmerizing and pretty ways. Abalone is a lovely shell that exhibits a play of bright blues, browns, blacks, and turquoises on a polished surface. It’s the exoskeleton or outer housing of sea creatures, and it’s a beautiful vessel in which you can find the Mother of Pearl. Abalone is nicknamed The Sea Ears because of its flattened and oval shape. It’s shaped like a curved ear, which has small holes that allow the sea creature to breathe. Abalone remains highly sought-after in South Africa. Its shells and colorful iridescence are considered very valuable. It can also be found in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and in the North American west coast.
