Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is mother of pearl and why does it have those colors?
A: Mother of pearl is the inner layer of certain mollusks, with a natural iridescent finish. The blue, green, and purple flashes are caused by how light bounces off its microscopic layers — it's physics, not paint.

Q: Is mother of pearl delicate?
A: It's more delicate than cubic zirconia or crystal, but perfect for frequent earring wear if you care for it: avoid impacts, chlorine, and saltwater. Store them in a case when not wearing.

Q: Can I order them with a different hook or size?
A: Absolutely. Write hola@artetaxco.mx with your preference and we'll quote you custom work (~2 weeks).
