Pearloid is a synthetic material that mimics the appearance of mother-of-pearl, a natural substance produced by mollusks. It is commonly made from celluloid, a type of plastic, and is often used in various applications, including the production of musical instrument parts, decorative items, and jewelry. In the context of musical instruments, pearloid is frequently used for pickguards, inlays, and knobs, adding an aesthetic appeal to guitars, violins, and other string instruments.
