Mother of pearl is the shell part of the oyster. The thin layer of pearlized shell is used for watch faces. It's not necessary to use diamonds with a mother of pearl dial. But most watch designers consider the two materials to look good together.

mother-of-pearl Related: Minerals (nāŽker) or nacre , the iridescent substance that forms the lining of the shells of some fresh-water and some salt-water mollusks. Like the pearl it is a secretion of the mantle, composed of alternate layers of calcium carbonate and conchiolin. Among the chief sources are the pearl oyster, found in warm and tropical seas, chiefly in Asia; freshwater pearl mussels, which live in many rivers of the United States, Europe, and Asia; and the abalone of California, Japan, and other Pacific regions. Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, Copyright (c) 2006. So we are both right.
