Positive Coating reinvents mother-of-pearl in colour

Long perceived as dainty and nostalgic, mother-of-pearl is now enjoying a bold revival thanks to innovation from Positive Coating. By offering it in unique metallic shades, the company based in La Chaux-de-Fonds is bringing a strikingly modern touch to this natural material while preserving its mystery and original soulfulness.

These new colours are finding their place in the luxury sector: watchmaking, jewellery, fashion accessories, writing instruments... Wherever mother-of-pearl can be applied to flat surfaces, the magic happens. It is establishing itself as a symbol of reinvented elegance blending craftsmanship, Nature and innovation.

Thanks to its expertise, Positive Coating transforms mother-of-pearl into an ever-moving landscape. Every shade becomes visual poetry, capturing the subtle play of light across calm seas or changing skies. Each colour blends with the natural texture of the material, playing with its reflections to create a vibrant effect mingling opacity with softly diffused light in a fascinating encounter between technology and lyricism, human mastery and organic beauty.
