Shell-shaped mother-of-pearl sequin - White

What is mother-of-pearl?

Mother-of-pearl is the inner lining of certain shells; this iridescent layer is particularly prized for decoration, jewelry making, and button crafting.

What can I do with my mother-of-pearl sequin?

This elegant sequin will let you create affordable mother-of-pearl jewelry.
Here are a few creative ideas:

• Make a subtle necklace with this sequin. You’ll need a fine-link chain, an open ring, your mother-of-pearl sequin, and a medallion or plain sequin.
  Simply assemble all the pieces, and you’ll have a mother-of-pearl necklace perfect for any occasion.
• Use the same technique, but this time make a mother-of-pearl bracelet by replacing the chain with a bangle.
• Whether as a gift or for yourself, keep in mind that you can engrave your medallion—what could be nicer than a little personalized message on a handmade piece of jewelry?
  For this, you’ll need the Impress Art kit—once you try it, you won’t be able to resist engraving a little something on your creations!
• Not really into necklaces or bracelets, but love rings? That’s possible too! You’ll need a band ring and a smaller medallion or sequin.
• This little mother-of-pearl sequin can just as easily be added to a brooch or a barrette—get inspired by this tutorial for a barrette made with gold-plated copper wire.

From ethnic jewelry to vintage pieces, create your own mother-of-pearl jewelry in a flash and on a budget.

How do you clean mother-of-pearl?

Sometimes mother-of-pearl can lose its luster—don’t panic, there are solutions.

• Clean with cold soapy water
• Rinse and dry
• Then polish with a cloth dipped in a mixture of water and lemon juice.
• Finally, add a few drops of oil to bring back its luster.
