How Pearls Are Formed
Pearls are among the few gemstones created by living organisms.
When a tiny irritant enters an oyster or freshwater mussel, the mollusk protects itself by coating it with countless layers of :nacre”, also known as mother of pearl. Over time, these layers build into a beautiful pearl with its signature luster and iridescence.
The quality of the pearl depends on the factors such as nacre thickness, surface quality, shape, color, and luster, making ever pearl beautifully unique.
