Mother of pearl has been used by people since ancient times. It is formed from the inner layer of mollusk shells and due to its luster and strength, it has become a popular material for making decorative items. In ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia it was used to decorate jewellery and ritual objects. In the Middle Ages, mother-of-pearl was used to make buttons, inlays and religious artefacts. In the 18th and 19th centuries, its production became widespread in Europe, especially in jewellery and decorative arts.
