Mother of Pearl
- You must be logged in to purchase products.
Mother of pearl mosaic tile is in a category of its own. Cut from genuine shell and nacre — not marble, not stone. It has an iridescent shimmer and depth of color that shifts with the light in a way no quarried material can replicate. Available in white and warm natural colorways, each paired with brilliant marbles for a luminous, organic result that works beautifully on kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, and vanity installations.
Mother of pearl mosaic tile is best suited for wall applications — kitchen backsplashes, bathroom accent walls, vanity walls, and fireplace surrounds. Its polished surface and iridescent quality make it a natural focal point in any space. While certain styles are suited for select floor applications, mother of pearl is not recommended for shower floors. Samples available before you commit.
Mother of pearl mosaic tile is made from genuine shell and nacre — the same iridescent material found on the interior of mollusk shells. It is not marble, stone, or porcelain. The natural iridescence and color shift that makes mother of pearl so distinctive comes entirely from the organic structure of the shell itself, which reflects light differently at every angle.
Mother of pearl mosaic tile performs best on wall applications where its iridescent quality can be fully appreciated — kitchen backsplashes, bathroom accent walls, vanity walls, shower walls, niches, and fireplace surrounds. The play of light across the shell surface changes throughout the day, making it one of the most dynamic materials you can install in an interior space.
Mother of pearl mosaic tile is suitable for shower walls but is not recommended for shower floors. The polished shell surface is not ideal for floor applications where slip resistance is a priority. For shower wall installations, including niches, accent walls, and full shower enclosures. We recommend sealing mother of pearl before and after installation with a premium impregnating sealer formulated for natural stone. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner will maintain its natural luster over time.
