Pearl Mosaic is a traditional Vietnamese art form that embeds pearl shells over various surfaces to create visually striking compositions. Inlaying shells requires a step-by-step process requiring skilled craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.
We visited Nguyen Xuan Dung in the village Chuon Ngo in Hanoi, Vietnam who has been working as a pearl inlay artisan for nearly 40 years and is the 5th generation in his family dedicated to the craft.
The craft is deeply rooted in the country’s culture with a history of 1000 years!. However, it is struggling to stay alive with changing times. Chuon Ngo holds a reputation as a pearl mosaic village that has developed a knack for pearl mosaic art. Many families have been working on the craft for generations and keeping it alive!

The range of sensibilities and skills required to master this lovely art is huge, and it is easy to see how a lifetime of devotion enters the flourishing of the art. My heart goes out to all of these artisans involved in this visual wonder. May ways be found to continue this tradition.💐

Beautiful! I don't have the patience or the strength to do that, and certainly not the artistic skill. I admire people that do that. Its hard to belive that is low paying, but I can see why at the same time as I am sure it is costly to produce as well as to sell. I was into quilting for a while and read an explanation why things cost so much...I wish more people understood how much work and dediction it takes to make even simple things like quilts, even with a team that I learned how to make quilts at a church thing.

I still have a box that my father brought back from Korea. It's black lacquer and mother of pearl with his name spelled out in Korean. Such a pretty thing. I have no idea how long it took. It's the size inside of a large playing card deck. At least as close as it can get to his name anyway. I had the matching cigarette box, but that was taken when my storage locker was seized. I lost my job and became homeless.
