A NATURAL BROOME MATERIAL
No two pieces of pearl shell are exactly alike.
Genuine Pinctada maxima pearl shell varies naturally in colour, lustre, grain, thickness and shape. These differences are part of its appeal and mean every engraved piece has an individual finish.
- Natural patterns and colour remain visible
- Artwork is positioned around the usable engraving area
- Shape, thickness and surface condition affect suitability
- The engraved contrast can vary across the shell
We inspect the shell and design before confirming the expected result.
