Pearls are organic gems, created when an oyster
covers a foreign object with beautiful layers of nacre. Long ago, pearls
were important financial assets, comparable in price to real estate, as
thousands of oysters had to be searched for just one pearl. They were
rare because they were created only by chance.
Today pearls are cultured by Man. Shell beads are placed inside
an oyster and the oyster is returned to the water. When the pearls are
later harvested, the oyster has covered the bead with layers of nacre.
Most cultured pearls are produced in Japan. In the warmer waters of the
South Pacific, larger oysters produce South Sea cultured pearls and
Tahitian black cultured pearls, which are larger in size. Freshwater
pearls are cultured in mussels, mostly in China.
