hidden from the exterior, mother of pearl is slowly made and delicately layered crystalized calcium. the microscopic layers create structural color, a luminous irridescent effect. designed to protect, self-soothe, and one of the strongest natural materials on earth.

on the outside, shells are rugged, fierce, and sharp. yet on the inside there is a delicate and mystical essence: shielding, healing, and unbreakable.

moon like and from the sea, a mystical mother. luminous from within, smooth and comforting, a shelter, a haven, a home.
