How are pearls created
Pearls are the only gemstone that is created by a living organism rather than in rock or sand formation.
Pearls, these beautiful delicate organic gems grow in side a mollusc, they form when an irritant like a piece of grit sits inside a shell. The mollusc then emits a material called nacre, which in turns forms itself around the grit creating a natural pearl.
Freshwater cultured pearls are a product of human intervention, by the way of implanting a foreign body into the shell of a mollusc for the pearl to form around.
