These genuine mother of pearl tiles are just lovely. They were 30% less expensive here than what my local tile store was selling them for. I had them professionally installed. It was a bit hard for even an experienced tile guy to get the seams between the tiles close enough, but any tiny gaps were easily filled with caulking. We used the peel and stick faux chrome edging from the same seller to finish off the edges, since there’s no way to use metal tile edging or border tiles, the mother of pearl material is too thin for that. It looks so high end and I get complimented on my backsplash all the time. Love them!
