Abstract

The nacre of imaged abalone pearls was obtained as a calcium carbonate of aragonite type. This result was same the nacre of natural abalone pearl. From the observation of SEM for the nacre adhered on the pearl nucleus, it was known that the layers of calcium carbonate and conchiolin were stratified. The growth rate of nacre was found to be 0.0056∼0.0074 mm/day, which is twice faster than that of traditional method used shells. The pendant and brooch were manufactured using the imaged abalone pearls.

문양화 전복진주의 진주층은 천연 전복진주와 동일한 아라고나이트 상의 탄산칼슘이었다. 진주핵 위에 잘 흡착되어 있는 진주층의 SEM 관찰 결과, 탄산칼슘과 콘키올린 층이 층상구조를 이루고 있었다. 진주층의 성장속도는 0.0056∼0.0074 mm/day임을 알았으며, 모패를 사용한 종래의 방법보다 약 2배 정도 빠르다는 것을 알았다. 그리고 문양화 된 전복진주를 이용하여 펜던트와 브로치를 제작하였다.
