Mother of Pearl – A Tribute to Mothers

Aggie is a creative person , and with her experience in entrepreneurial life and brand building, she became interesting to us as well. In 2019, we were lucky enough to have her join the Wabi Sabi board. The fact that she is also a little above average interested in jewelry is of course very helpful.

Jewelry collaboration

While she was working on the album “Perlemor” the idea came to collaborate on designing a piece of jewelry inspired by her new project.

Being able to be creative with other creative people, with a completely different background and expertise than we have, is both rewarding and exciting. The design is inspired by the mother-of-pearl shell, which is made up of many layers of microscopic flakes of conchiolin and tiny crystals.

– I think it's a nice picture of adult life. There's a lot we have to master, we try to make it look like we're doing it. There are many fragile pieces of life experience, glued together to create a foundation for mastering the tasks that come. You have to be so many things. Mother, daughter, girlfriend, friend, colleague – and an active participant in society, says Aggie Frost. We don't get it perfect, and that's okay, she continues.

The philosophy

The philosophy behind “Mother of Pearl” mirrors our thoughts around our Wabi Sabi jewelry – that out of the fragile and imperfect comes something beautiful. We call it “the beauty of the imperfect” – we make all jewelry by hand and it’s about finding the right moment to stop in the production process to find the right expression.

– I want the wearer of the piece of jewelry to wear it with pride in everything they achieve and everything they are, whether they are a mother or caring for someone else. An important, strong and beautiful Mother of Pearl, in a busy and multi-faceted everyday life, concludes Aggie.

Handmade

Like all our other jewelry, Perlemor is also made by hand in our studio in Tromsø. Each pendant is cast in sand, based on a wax model. You can choose between silver or gold.

Mother of pearl is a perfect gift for yourself, or as a tribute to an important woman in your life. Mother of pearl should be worn with pride and joy – a little amulet to remind you that you are good as you are, that you are valued – and that you should focus on what you achieve.
