Luodian Finished Jewelry

Luodian Finished Jewelry

Wearable Luodian (螺钿) mother-of-pearl inlay — a court craft where wafer-thin shell catches light inside lacquer or metal settings.

Butterfly hairpins, earrings and brooches glow blue-green-gold as they move. Each piece is handmade, no two shells shimmer alike.

Questions about Luodian Finished Jewelry

Is mother-of-pearl inlay fragile?

Shell inlay is durable for jewelry wear but avoid impact, perfume and prolonged soaking. Store flat in the provided box.

Why does the shell color change in the light?

Natural nacre has a layered microstructure that refracts light. The shimmer you see is real mother-of-pearl, not paint.
