A Precious Globe

Amazed by a Globe ! This is how I feel myself near the Earth  globe. I love this globe and I have a small geographical globe, too. Certainly, a bigger globe looks better in a room, and it's easier to find the places you are looking for, on it. Today, due to creativity of some people,  the geographical Earth globe is manufactured from different materials like glass, plastic, crystal, gold, silver and even gemstones.

What is a Pearl ?

All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography.
- Federico Fellini -

What is Mother of Pearl ?

Nacre , also known as mother of pearl, is an organic-inorganic composite material produced by some mollusks as an inner shell layer and also is what makes up pearls. It is very strong, resilient, and iridescent.

Nacre has been used over many centuries for all kinds of decorative purposes .

Both black and white nacre are used for architectural purposes. The natural nacre may be artificially tinted to almost any color. Nacre tesserae may be cut into shapes and laminated to a ceramic tile or marble base.

Nacre is also used to decorate watches, knives, guns and jewelry. Read more in Wikipedia
