When selecting white mother of pearl (M.O.P.), inlay artists look for different pieces. When engraving, the inlay artist is typically looking for a non flamed pattern or surface for ease of engraving. When you're engraving you're not using a saw, A blade or graver is more likely to catch the grain of the material and drift. This is not an issue for inlay due to the use of a saw so material choice ultimately comes down to aesthetic preference. Our shell's natural patterns range from flat/solid in color to iridescent and flaming in texture (similar to an opal-opalescent).​
​
Our white mother-of-pearl blanks are flawless, without bug holes, crack lines or bark. Mother of pearl (also called nacre) is a white shell material whose grain features a stunning, 3D, iridescent quality that transforms with the angle of the light.

​
We hand select our shells to ensure the quality of our shell blanks. Our precision cutting process produces completely flat blanks at a consistent thickness, making them ideal for your inlay designs. Mother of pearl inlay material can be cut, with extreme care, using a fine jeweller's saw.
