What is mother-of-pearl?

Mother-of-pearl is the inner lining of certain seashells; 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 jump ring, your sequin, and a medallion or plain sequin.
  Simply assemble all the pieces, and you’ll have a mother-of-pearl necklace to wear for any occasion.
• Use the same technique, but this time make a mother-of-pearl bracelet by replacing the chain with a bangle.
• 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 small mother-of-pearl sequin can just as easily be added to a brooch or a hair clip—get inspired by this tutorial for a gold-plated copper wire hair clip.

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

How do you clean mother-of-pearl?
