Handcraft Your Chinese Mother-of-Pearl Jewelry

In this workshop, you’ll create your own mother-of-pearl jewelry using real, naturally shimmering shell pieces.

You’ll start by learning a bit about the history behind this traditional Chinese craft and why it was once used by royalty. Then, you’ll move straight into the hands-on part—choosing from a variety of colorful shell materials and designing your own pattern.

You can turn your design into a brooch, earrings, a necklace, or a bracelet, depending on your preference. By the end, you’ll have a unique, handmade accessory that reflects your personal style—and a meaningful piece of Chinese craftsmanship you can wear or gift.
