Pearl

Pearl

Pearl items listed here are made of the natural mother-of-pearl from shells. Such natural pearl has been used to decorate furniture and small utilitarian objects for centuries. Before the early twentieth century when cultured pearls were developed, pearls were very expensive jewels, owned almost exclusively by royalty. Glassware known as mother-of-pearl is listed by that name. Opera glasses made with natural pearl shell are listed under Opera Glasses.
