Pearls are gems with a lustrous appearance of smooth nacre layers found in freshwater or saltwater pearls. A mollusc only creates pearls when an irritant like parasites, grains of sand, or pieces of food touches the oyster shell. It will then secrete nacre to protect itself from the irritant. Those layers of nacre are what form a pearl.
However, pearls formed through this method are scarce, making them extremely costly and difficult to find.
Fortunately, people learned how to culture pearls. This does not only make harvest easier but also make it more affordable to the public. Aside from how they are made, a pearl’s price can also depend on whether they are grown in freshwater or saltwater.
