真正的珍珠母贝镀金共济会袖扣与领带夹
One of the many from my collection...

Worn by myself and my dad on several official Masonic Occasions.

The proper name for the iridescent substance known as "mother of pearl" is nacre. It is the inner lining of certain mollusc shells, like oysters and mussels, formed by layers of a calcium carbonate mineral called aragonite and an organic protein called conchiolin. This substance is also the same material that forms pearls.
