Mother of pearl products are highly acknowledged handcrafted products in Korea that were used by the Royal Family and high society members in the past. It was also offered as a gift to royalties and important diplomats of foreign countries.

The handcrafting process of mother of pearl still involves traditional techniques that have been inherited for generations. A mother of pearl is inlaid on dry, high-quality wood and lacquered in layers. This lacquering process known in Korea as ‘Oht-chil’ provides durability and protection against the natural elements to the mother of pearl products. This is how the products from Hue International maintain their original splendor for years.

Layers of mother of pearl from various shells are carefully embossed on the lacquered surface of the wood to create splendid patterns and landscapes. The final process of polishing accentuates the distinctive colors of the mother of pearl decoration.
