pearl jewelry wholesale

In America, mother of pearl had been used mostly as an inlay for furniture until the 19th century saw it used for buttons. Muscatine, Iowa became the center of pearl button manufacture, and ‘clammers’ fished the Mississippi and other rivers for the nacre producing fresh water mussels. The buttons would be formed by punching out round pieces of the mussel shell. Billions of pearl buttons were manufactured, but they were very labor intensive to produce. By the beginning of World War II, the pearl button industry shifted to the production of plastic buttons as they were less expensive to make.

Mother of pearl continues to be used as decoration for many items such as furniture, musical instruments, and jewelry. Modern mother of pearl comes from fresh water and salt water sources in Europe, Asia, The United States, Japan and Asia. Mother of pearl that comes from abalone shell is some of the most valuable. With its iridescence and beauty, this opal of the sea is still in demand and highly valued.

There has been one name in high fashion jewelry that has been rising to the top of the lists of everyone that is anyone in the celebrity spotlight or just anyone that appreciates and recognizes quality jewelry. In 1995 a pair of brothers from Florence, Italy named Manual and Mauro Zoppini brought their creations to the United States and the company that was started many years earlier by their father Marco, called Zoppini Jewelry, was now ready to become a worldwide name in fine charm jewelry.

Many gold jewelry uses nickel as its base metal to help keep the gold stable but Zoppini Jewelry uses stainless steel to create their pieces and this means that people that could not wear jewelry before can wear it now because that allergic reaction to the nickel is no longer there. Not only that but stainless steel adds a level of luster and beauty to their jewelry that, after two generations of craftsmanship, Zoppini Jewelry has learned to turn into a one of a kind shine. The gems they use as accents are perfectly placed and the enamel they use to add color creates one of a kind designs unlike anything you have ever seen before.

In recent years Zoppini Jewelry has also made their mark with unique and beautiful rings and other pieces of jewelry that they make using their personal techniques. Using their knowledge of stainless steel and gold Zoppini Jewelry has been able to create some of the most beautiful and sought after pieces in the world and their increasing success and notoriety is allowing them to take the world of high fashion by storm and quickly making the name of Zoppini the premier name in fashion jewelry for not only the rich and famous but for everyone that desires high quality stainless steel based jewelry that they can wear when any other kind of jewelry will give them all sorts of problems. Zoppini is truly one of a kind.
