When we look at a piece of lac jewellery, the last thing we are seeing is lac! The embellished jewellery surface we see is the silver foil shell, which is strengthened by the lac inside.
The real deal: Lac jewellery is not made of lac in the conventional sense; it is rather lac-filled jewellery. Lac, a resinous substance produced by insects, is melted and injected in hollow silver foils.
