Nacre:
Nacre is also known as mother of pearl and is a material widely used in jewelry to make pieces especially with silver and gold. Nacre is an organic-inorganic element of normally white or yellow color that is bright and has iris reflections.
This material is created inside the shell of mollusks, such as oysters, among others. Compared to precious stones and other metals, this is a fairly fragile material.
Like the rest of materials that we can find in nature, mother of pearl also presents irregularities in its shape. Therefore each piece is different and has a different brightness and color, no two are the same.
Nacre is the substance with which pearls are formed. When a foreign element is introduced into a mollusk, it proceeds to cover it with a substance that it creates itself, nacre. The mollusk is lined by superimposed layers until it forms the pearl.
There are different varieties of mother of pearl depending on the type of shell or shellfish where it is formed. The base color is normally white, except Tahitian Nacre that is darker.
A very particular case is found in the nacre created by the Paua New Zealand shells, which have a spectacular intense greenish blue hue and incredible iridescent reflections, having a great resemblance to the Black Opal, which is why they have also been called Opals del Mar.
History of Nacre: Nacre has been used for centuries by the cultures of the East, especially in China and Japan, long before the Christian era. They used them to create sculptures, decorate objects, furniture and even make buttons.
The mother of pearl joined the world of jewelry with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, in the sixteenth century, which caused the demand for this substance to grow extraordinarily. It was precisely Queen Elizabeth I of England, who in the sixteenth century gave the name "Mother of Pearl" to Nacre.
Volcanic stone:
Volcanic stones are stones that are formed by the cooling of lava, after volcano eruptions. The rapid cooling of the lava when it reaches the earth's surface or when it comes into contact with water causes many pores to form in the rock structure. Sometimes this sudden temperature change causes other crystals or semiprecious minerals such as obsidian to form.
Sometimes, this cooling also causes rocks formed entirely of glass, thus becoming an unalterable material. It is estimated that during the tertiary era an annual average of 3.8 to 4.2 cubic kilometers of volcanic rocks on Earth has been generated. Currently this stone is used for numerous tourist uses, as well as for the elaboration of rings, bracelets and earrings.
The jewels that are made with volcanic stones usually contain a great mystical energy and have a black or brown color. These tend to be combined with other materials such as silver, steel or other precious stones. In addition, these stones can be presented in two versions, in their natural state, with a porous and irregular appearance or going through a polishing process, which results in a bright smooth texture.
