Nachre Mother of Pearl Horn Pendant

Nacre, also known as 'Mother of Pearl', is an organic material produced by mollusks as an inner shell layer. It is the main component of pearls and has a strong, resilient, and iridescent quality.

Mother of pearl has historically been sourced from pearl oysters, freshwater pearl mussels, and abalone. These natural materials, known for their strength and attractiveness, were particularly popular in the 19th century.

This horn Pendant is carved from Mother of Pearl, giving it a unique, shimmering quality. The symbol of the horn may have originated from the horns of an African eland antelope or the European moon goddess; talismans that represent good luck, protection, and prosperity. It is typically worn as a necklace and is believed to ward off the evil eye as well as general bad luck.
