This is a stunning set of Mother of Pearl with beautiful gold medallions. It is made up from about 8 layers of Mother of Pearl. This is not just a thin layer encased in epoxy resin that you would get from chine. Its all real mother of Peral. Solid one piece mother of pearl is no longer available due to all the old big shells being harvested. Laminated mother of pearl is the only way now to own real mother of pearl grips. The dust of this shell is toxic to humans and a complete mask and suit must be worn to avoid the toxic chemicals from the shell.
The beautiful colors and patterns in this Mother of Pearl can not truly be captured by a picture. If you want Mother of Pearl get it while you can.

VERY rare to find anyting like this. The dust of this shell is toxic to humans and a complete mask and suit must be worn when making these grips.
The beautiful colors and patterns in Abalone can not be outdone. Pictures do not capture the beauty.
