Classic Elegance in Monochrome Luxury
The Noir Luxe is a mother of pearl bracelet that brings together two of the most visually striking natural materials available: the iridescent organic shimmer of mother of pearl and the rare matte depth of shungite. Luminous mother of pearl rondelles alternate with deep black 4mm shungite beads in a sophisticated rhythm, each pair separated by a 18K gold-plated ring that adds warmth and luxury to the monochrome palette. The result is a mother of pearl bracelet that works equally well as a daily wear piece and for special occasions.
Shungite is an extraordinary mineral — a carbon-rich stone found only in the Karelia region of Russia — and the Noir Luxe is the only bracelet in our collection that features it. Its deep matte black tone creates a perfect counterpoint to the iridescent brightness of mother of pearl: where pearl reflects and shimmers, shungite absorbs and grounds. Hematite spacers add a third metallic note that bridges the two. At 18.5 cm with a 3.5 cm extender, it fits most wrist sizes. Explore more in our handcrafted bracelet collection.

Premium Natural Materials, Timeless Quality
This mother of pearl bracelet is built around the complementary qualities of two genuinely exceptional natural materials. Mother of pearl (nacre) is the iridescent substance that lines the interior of mollusc shells — its characteristic shimmer comes from microscopic layers of aragonite crystals that diffract light into a spectrum of colours. Each rondelle is hand-selected for lustre quality and cut precision.
The shungite used alongside it is rarer still. This carbon-rich mineral is found only in the Karelia region of northwestern Russia, in deposits estimated to be nearly 2 billion years old. Its distinctive matte black tone comes from its high carbon content — over 98% in the purest form — making it unlike any other black stone used in jewelry. The 18K gold-plated fittings are hypoallergenic and nickel-free, their warm tone lifting the monochrome palette into something genuinely luxurious. This mother of pearl gold bracelet is an exceptional gift for those who appreciate rare natural materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is shungite and why is it rare?
Shungite is a carbon-rich mineral found only in the Karelia region of northwestern Russia — nowhere else on Earth. Its high carbon content (up to 98% in the purest form) gives it a distinctive deep matte black appearance unlike any other black stone used in jewelry. The Karelia deposits are estimated to be nearly 2 billion years old, making shungite one of the most ancient minerals used in contemporary jewelry. The Noir Luxe is the only bracelet in our collection that features it.
Q: What is mother of pearl and how does it get its shimmer?
Mother of pearl (nacre) is the iridescent substance that lines the interior of mollusc shells — the same material that forms natural pearls. Its characteristic shimmer comes from microscopic layers of aragonite crystals arranged in overlapping plates that diffract light into a spectrum of colours. This optical effect shifts as the viewing angle changes, giving mother of pearl its living, moving quality. Each rondelle in the Noir Luxe is hand-selected for lustre quality.
Q: Is mother of pearl the same as regular pearl?
Mother of pearl and regular pearl are made from the same material (nacre) but are different products. Regular pearls form in layers around an irritant within the mollusc. Mother of pearl refers to the inner shell lining itself — it is typically cut into shapes (like rondelles) for use in jewelry. Both display the same iridescent shimmer, but mother of pearl allows for a wider variety of bead shapes and sizes.
Q: What size wrist does this fit?
The Noir Luxe measures 18.5 cm with a 3.5 cm extender chain, giving a total adjustable range of 18.5–22 cm. This fits standard wrist sizes (16–20 cm) comfortably. For custom sizing within ±2 cm, contact us at the time of order at no extra charge.
Q: Is this a good gift?
The Noir Luxe is an excellent gift — the combination of rare shungite, iridescent mother of pearl, and 18K gold-plated fittings creates something genuinely distinctive. The timeless black-and-white-and-gold palette suits a wide range of personal styles and occasions. It arrives in premium eco-friendly packaging, ready to give.
