BEE Brooch, Mother of Pearl

Nacre, commonly known as mother-of-pearl, is a remarkable organic substance that forms within the shells of certain mollusks, such as oysters and abalone. Renowned for its stunning luster and unique play of colors, nacre is created as a protective layer against irritants, such as grains of sand. The mollusk secretes this beautiful substance in layers, resulting in the exquisite inner lining of shells that has captivated artisans and jewelers for centuries, and now BAIGAL too.

The allure of nacre lies in its iridescence, which can display a spectrum of colors from soft pastels to vibrant hues, shifting with the light. This characteristic makes it a highly sought-after material in the creation of jewelry as well as other decorative items, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. Its gentle glow is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers a sense of tranquility, making nacre a favored choice in both fashion and interior design.

Beyond its beauty, nacre is celebrated for its durability and versatility. It has been used in various applications, including inlays for furniture and musical instruments, where it enhances both visual appeal and acoustic properties. The unique texture and warm tones of nacre can elevate any creation, lending it a timeless quality that resonates with nature’s artistry.

Caring for nacre requires mindfulness, as it is more delicate than traditional gemstones. To maintain its luster, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Proper storage of the creation in a soft pouch or its BAIGAL jewelry box will protect it from scratches, ensuring its enduring beauty.

Cubic zirconia, with its dazzling brilliance and clarity, is celebrated as a stunning gemstone that beautifully combines luxury and affordability. BAIGAL uses only the highest-grade cubic zirconia, specifically 3A-5A, reflecting our commitment to quality and artistry. This remarkable stone captures the essence of elegance, making it an ideal choice for our creations that enhances the natural beauty of its wearer.

Cubic zirconia is a lab-created gemstone that mimics the visual appeal of diamonds, making it an attractive alternative without the steep cost. Its exceptional clarity and fire ensure that it rivals even the most precious stones, allowing for breathtaking designs to reflect the beauty of Mongolian culture, history, and traditions in each creation. 

In addition to its aesthetic charm, cubic zirconia offers an ethical and sustainable choice for our clients. Unlike traditional gemstones, which often involve environmentally damaging mining practices, cubic zirconia is created in a controlled environment, minimizing its ecological footprint. This commitment to sustainability resonates with those who value making conscientous choices without compromising luxury and beauty.

The versatility of cubic zirconia is another reason it has become a staple in our creations. Its ability to be fashioned into various shapes and colors opens up a world of creative possibilities, ensuring it perfectly complements the artistic designs stemming from our culture.

To maintain the beauty of cubic zirconia, it is important to care for it properly. Although it is a durable gemstone, it can still be scratched or damaged by harsher materials. We recommend storing cubic zirconia pieces in their BAIGAL jewelry box, away from other jewelry, to prevent scratches and keep them looking pristine.

When cleaning cubic zirconia, avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Instead, gently wipe the stones with a soft, damp cloth to remove any oils or residues, and dry them thoroughly to preserve their luster. With proper care, our cubic zirconia creations will retain its brilliance for years to come, reflecting the timelessness of the country that is Mongolia.
