A 30g pack of flat sequins in a beautifully restrained mother of pearl palette — soft, iridescent, and luminous rather than vivid and bold. Where the bold colours pack makes an immediate statement, the mother of pearl selection creates a more subtle, sophisticated effect — the kind of delicate shimmer that suits bridal and occasion wear, white and cream textiles, pale backgrounds, and any project where a refined, light-catching quality is the aim.
The iridescent finish of mother of pearl sequins means they shift subtly in colour as the light and angle change — catching white light and breaking it gently into soft pinks, creams, lilacs, and silvery blues depending on how they sit. This quality is precisely what makes them so appealing for bridal and special occasion embellishment, for adding a gentle shimmer to knitwear and soft furnishings, and for decorative craft work where sparkle is wanted but not the full intensity of metallics or bold colours.
The mixed size range — 15mm to 45mm — gives the same versatility as the bold colours pack, allowing large and small sequins to be used together in the same project naturally. They can be sewn through the central hole with a needle and thread, attached with craft or fabric glue, embedded in resin, or used decoratively in a wide range of craft applications.
How do mother of pearl sequins differ from standard flat sequins?
Mother of pearl sequins have an iridescent finish that shifts subtly in colour depending on the angle and light — creating a soft, luminous effect rather than a flat, single-colour shine. This makes them particularly well suited to bridal, occasion, and decorative work where a delicate, refined shimmer is the aim.
How are they attached?
Through the central hole with a needle and thread for fabric applications — a single stitch or a bead anchored over the hole are both standard methods. For non-fabric applications, craft glue, fabric glue, or PVA can be used. They can also be embedded in resin or used loose for decorative effects.
What sizes are included?
A mixed selection ranging from 15mm to 45mm in diameter. The exact distribution of sizes within the pack varies.
Are they suitable for bridal and occasion wear?
Yes — the soft iridescent mother of pearl finish is one of the most widely used sequin finishes in bridal and occasion wear embellishment, adding a gentle shimmer that complements pale fabrics and delicate design without overwhelming them.
