Pearls are a natural product of an oyster’s body defense mechanism. These tiny round shining balls grow inside their mother oysters with a shimmering iridescence, luster and soft inner glow that are unlike any other gem on the earth. Pearls in oysters take its birth and struggles till it converts into the most beautiful gemstone on this world. We all know that pearls come from oysters, so don't be surprised if you crunch down on the beginnings of a pearl while munching your meal. There are mainly three types of pearls available in the market these days:
Natural Pearls: A natural pearl is a pearl that forms in nature with no human intervention.
Cultural Pearls: These pearls grow just like the natural pearls. However, they are forcefully inserted into the shell by humans or other shapes into a mollusk. Over time they become coated with nacre. The depth of the nacre coating depends on how long the beads are left in place before being harvested.
Freshwater Pearls: A natural or cultured pearl that grew inside of a freshwater mollusk.
