Pearls are organic gems that are created when an oyster covers a foreign object with layers of nacre. Long ago, pearls were important financial assets because pearls were rare and only created by chance.  Thousands of oysters had to be searched for only one pearl.

Today pearls are cultured by man, most in Japan.  Shell beads are placed inside an oyster and the oyster is returned to the water. When the pearls are harvested, the oyster has covered the bead with layers of nacre creating a pearl.   Freshwater pearls are cultured in freshwater mussels, mostly in China.
