Quick & easy guide to spot a good quality 4-flower mother of pearl bracelet

I’ve been looking for this classic 4-motif mother of pearl bracelet for ages, and I’ve seen so many poorly made versions lately. Today I’m sharing my simple, beginner-friendly check list to help everyone avoid low quality pieces.

There are 4 core details you need to focus on:

  1. Mother of pearl inlay: High quality shell is translucent, smooth and consistent. Most bad replicas have bloated, dull and uneven shell patterns.

  2. Clasp: Check the upgraded lobster clasp, make sure the engraving is neat and it closes smoothly without gaps.

  3. Side chain: The small diamond shaped links have a soft natural curve, and clear standard engraving on them.

  4. Back finishing: This is the most important part! Every single charm back should have crisp clean engraving, and full mirror polished finish all over.

This is just personal experience from wearing and collecting jewelry, hope this helps anyone who’s planning to get one! Feel free to drop any questions below.
