known as a famous Mother-of- pearl inlaid village for thousands years. Mr.

mother-of-pearl are lively and special which bring you a feeling of mixing in
nature between jungle and sea. From colorful mother of pearl, shell and oyster
with wire range of decorative veins, the Chuyen My workers can create any
sophisticated designs. According to artisans, mother-of-pearl inlay includes of
6 basic steps: drawing the design, cutting shell into the shape, wood carving,
sticking shell into the carved wood, grinding and polishing, making antique look
with black powders. Mother of pearl inlaid is the symbol of luxury and high
position. Many products namely cabinet, bed, chessboard, picture, jewel-box,
chopstick box,… not only meet the demand of local but also exported to many
international markets.
