Mother-of-pearl is an organic-inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer; it also makes up the outer coating of pearls. They are characterized by their translucence and luster and by a delicate play of surface color called orient. The more perfect its shape (spherical or drop-like) and the deeper its luster, the greater its value. Only those pearls produced by mollusks whose shells are lined with mother-of-pearl, like oysters and freshwater clams, are really fine pearls. Pearls from other mollusks are reddish or whitish or lacking in pearly luster. Jewelers commonly refer to saltwater pearls as Oriental pearls and to those produced by freshwater mollusks as freshwater pearls.
