Method of relief stamping mother-of-pearl plates

摘要

In a method of making relief structures on mother-of-pearl layers removed from the shells of mollusks a portion of the layer is disposed on a negative mold having a relief shape formed therein, a modelling material is disposed on the layer portion and the layer portion is pressed into engagement with the negative mold by way of a planar stamp pressing onto the modelling material thereby relief-shaping the mother-of-pearl layer.
