Vanuatu earrings with white Mother of pearl

Ancient Egyptian civilization was one of the most influential of its time; its power, art and culture being the inspiration for this collection. Throughout the ages, Ancient Egypt has surprised the world with its majestic culture, from its pharaohs surrounded by riches and luxury, to its architecture still shrouded in mystery.

Our designer Mar Aldeguer immersed herself in Egypt´s ancient culture during her visits, and imagined ground breaking designs that combined classic and modern shapes, creating a collection in vibrant colours. She also dreamed a new array of detachable jewels and parts to add to the most versatile of collections, MyCoolook.

A collection in which the protagonists are stones such us Lapislazuli or Amethyst, stones with mysterious meanings that already had relevance in Ancient Egypt. Stones that assume as characteristic shapes such as the beetle, symbol of the morning sun to the Egyptians. We also got inspiration from the simplest shapes, triangles in deep shades that represent the pyramids and their majestic character.

What is mother of pearl?

It is the inner shell of molluscs and is formed by a layer of nacre, that increases as the animal grows. The iridescent substance (also called orient) that the mollusc secretes forms layers of calcium carbonate and conchiolin.

It offers the gentle healing power of the sea, relieving stress as well as relaxing, soothing and calming emotions. It is known for its antiaging properties and is effective for wound repair.  

There are different kinds, but they usually come from the Pacific.
