Mother-of-pearl

Mother-of-pearl, also known as mother-of-pearl or Capiz in the Philippines, is an oyster-like shell called Placuns Placenta. These shells are commonly called pearl oysters. The capiz shell has a translucent character and is often used for windows and lamps in the Philippines. The shells are not protected sea animals, so they can legally be fished. Besides their use for windows and lamps, these shells are also widely used in art objects. By keeping the shells moist after they are caught, they can be shaped slightly before being coated with resin. The shells are made up of various layers stacked on top of each other. The thickness of the layers may vary depending on the type of mollusk. Although real pearl shell can be used as a substitute for glass in windows, it is much more fragile. On the other hand, it is also much cheaper than glass.
