      The Dayak of Borneo : The Dayak (or Dyak or Dayuh are one of the native groups of Borneo / Kalimantan (Indonesia).
 
It is a loose term for over 200 riverine and hill-dwelling ethnic groups, located principally in the central and southern interior of Borneo, each with its own dialect, customs, laws, territory, and culture, although common distinguishing traits are readily identifiable.
 
Dayak languages are categorized as part of the Austronesian languages. The Dayak were animist (Kaharingan) in belief.
 
 
Borneo (also known as Kalimantan in the Indonesian language) is the third-largest island in the world, with an area of 748,168 km2 (288,869 square miles).
 
Situated at the geographic centre of Maritime Southeast Asia, it is one of the Greater Sunda Islands, located north of Java, west of Sulawesi, and east of Sumatra.
 
      Definition Mother-of-Pearl : Mother-of-Pearl is produced by the Pinctada maxima mollusk ~ the South Sea pearl oyster
 
They are currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, primarily in Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines.
 
These waters are the native habitat of a large oyster known as Pinctada maxima. This oyster grows up to 12 inches in diameter and much larger than other saltwater oysters
 
There are two varieties of Pinctada maxima, the silver-lipped and the gold-lipped. The two are distinguished by their distinct coloration of the outer edge of the interior. This type of shell is known as mother-of-pearl, and is responsible for the coloration of the cultured pearls produced, therefore the name.
 
      Definition Pinna shell : Pinna shell species are large saltwater clams sometimes known as pen shells. They are marine bivalve mollusks.
 
Pen pearl is a term used for pearls from the shell species Pinna. This species is found in the waters of the Indian and Pacific Ocean and also in the Mediterranean.  These shells produce both nacreous and non-nacreous pearls. The pearls often exhibit a dark grey to black body color with overtones of bright green, blue, purple, silver, and pink.
