Mother-of-pearl comes from the lining of large shells in the South Pacific. Apart from its fascinating pearly iridescent look, the advantage of using mother-of-pearl for making spoons is that, like horn, it does not affect the taste when coming into contact with eggs or caviar. In addition this cool, heavy material is always pleasant to the touch. Sometimes not available due to the shortage of mother-of-pearl.
