Mother of pearl 8mm Beaded Bracelet

Mother of pearl 8mm Beaded Bracelet (shop SKU HBMPB) is offered as a beaded bracelet online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Mother of pearl, or nacre, is the iridescent lining of mollusk shells, long used for beads and inlay. Because it is organic, it is softer than most gemstones and should be kept away from harsh cleaners and prolonged water. The title gives a bead size of 8 mm.

Because beads are cut from natural materials, color and pattern vary from piece to piece. Pearls are organic gems formed inside mollusks; natural and cultured pearls vary in shape and luster. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.

• Bead size: 8 mm (as listed)
• SKU: HBMPB

You can see this one in person at Namaste Bookshop, 2 West 14th Street near Union Square in New York City, or order it online.
