How do you remove mother of pearl?

To remove mother of pearl, typically found in jewelry or decorative items, carefully use a small, flat tool like a craft knife or a precision chisel. Gently pry the piece away from its setting, taking care not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the mother of pearl or surrounding materials. If it's glued, applying a small amount of heat or solvent can help loosen the adhesive. Always handle the material with care, as it can be fragile.
