What are mother of pearl spoons made of?
1 Answer

Mother of pearl spoons are made of nacre. Nacre, often referred to as mother of pearl, is a composite material that some mollusks produce as an inner shell layer. Nacre is the same material that pearls are made of. Spoons can be made entirely of mother of pearl, just the handle or additional ornamentation.
