Most recognizable, and their best seller, is the white mother of pearl - Tres chic! Mother of pearl comes from a shell of a mollusk which protects the body from parasites and other foreign objects – essentially it is a blend of materials secreted by oysters and other marine creatures. VCA uses Indonesian and Japanese mother of pearl for its color uniformity; most desirable is an even color with a little iridescence. Symbolically, mother of pearl represents maternal instincts, femininity and provides security and well-being to those who wear it.
Also pictured, is an onyx and yellow gold version. Onyx is a rare volcanic gem with a shiny black luster – the deeper the black color the more desirable the stone. Onyx has been used in jewelry throughout history, mainly cut as cabochon or beads. Whether stacked and mixed or simply a single strand, these Alhambra necklaces are feminine and elegant.
