Yunxi shows how the same shell theme can sit against very different bodies. In August 2025, RUMU EDC listed white mother-of-pearl paired with PEI, ziguangtan wood, figured bubinga and submerged wood. The photograph shows the PEI configuration.

In the December 2025 anniversary edition, Yunxi Tianxia Yiren, the emphasis shifts to a signature-shaped inlay on the front. RUMU describes a body made from gold- or silver-foil chopped-carbon material, with the white mother-of-pearl cut by CNC from 1 mm-thick material. That thickness belongs to this anniversary inlay; it is not specified for the earlier configurations.

The silver-foil edition also uses white copper in the middle layer and in the lettering on the back. The shell, carbon-based body and metal details each have their own place in the assembly.

BPMODS’ February 2025 feature on third-party Price Tag plates introduced Niaoshu’s mother-of-pearl series, including the fish and peacock designs. The maker’s account describes cutting and carving plates directly from a whole piece of shell, rather than filling a separate substrate with thin inlays.

The carved outlines and the shell’s colour distribution are both part of the result. Niaoshu made these plates; BPMODS presented the work. Mother-of-pearl is the plate material, not a description of the complete Price Tag fidget.

CyberEDC collaborated with LusterLac on the shell-inlay Matrix plate for Chuanliu. The November 2025 release describes selecting, arranging, bonding and polishing the coloured shell pieces by hand. Colours and arrangements vary from plate to plate.

This configuration pairs the plate with a bead-blasted stainless-steel body. Luodian refers here to the shell-inlay work on the plate. The maker also warns that gaps or natural shell growth marks may be visible from particular angles. Those edges and joins deserve a closer look alongside the colour.

In the introduction to Zhangzhongbao Fu Lu Shou, Lao Cai of CC28 EDC describes a clear sequence: mother-of-pearl inlay first, followed by a covering layer called fengjing. The outer layer therefore also contributes to the surface you touch.

The release uses zirconium alloy for the body and plate substrates, with magnetic finishing and gold plating. It has replaceable plates on three sides, including the middle layer. The gold-coloured finish, metal substrate, shell pattern and clear covering are separate parts of the construction. The article does not identify the covering’s formulation or provide comparative abrasion-test data.

The Santi Mini introduced by Chuanshanjia EDC in January 2026 combines a tungsten-alloy body, titanium-alloy buttons and colourful mother-of-pearl inlays. Shell replaces the brass inlays of the earlier version, adding a different surface pattern within the metal structure.

The maker’s listed 72 g is the weight of this finished configuration. It does not describe the shell’s weight or every Santi version. The source calls the inlay colourful mother-of-pearl; it does not establish the shell species or whether it has been dyed.
