Is it Mother of Pearl or Abalone?

Abalone and mother of pearl are both nacre, the iridescent inner shell layer of various mollusks. Mother or pearl is the nacre of pearl oysters and freshwater mussels and has a milky white or silver appearance; it is also the substance that forms pearls. Abalone usually refers to the darker, more colorful nacre specifically from abalone shells.

About Silver

100% solid silver won't tarnish but it is too soft to use for making jewelry - it could easily be scratched, dented and bent. Sterling silver has a small amount of one or more other metals usually copper, added to the silver. To be called sterling silver, the alloy must contain at least 92.5% pure silver. Sterling silver alloy is harder than pure silver but the added metals also can cause discoloration or tarnish.
