What Is a Mother-of-Pearl Button?
Mother of pearl (MOP) is the lustrous inner layer of certain shells. When it is cut and polished into a button, it keeps a soft, shifting iridescence that changes with the light — something a moulded plastic button cannot reproduce. Because the pattern comes from the shell itself, no two buttons are exactly alike.
MyPearlCraft cuts, polishes and finishes mother-of-pearl buttons in-house, with production under India Craft and our sales office in Gurugram, Haryana.
