black mother of pearl
La dicitura esatta è "nero nacrè" o "nacre" (con la lettera "N").
Detto anche "madreperla".
Il termine deriva dalla nacrite, un tipo di minerale: http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/nacrite/

he Lexington Shoulder bag is perfect for the woman who desires loads of glamour alongside total practicality. Lacquered metal hardware is the perfect compliment to the rich Italian leathers that we have hand selected for this bag. The Lexington is available in Metallic Gold (above), Dark Grey and Pearlized Black.
