Pearl is a unique organic gemstone formed within the soft tissue of certain mollusks, primarily oysters and mussels. It is composed of calcium carbonate in the form of aragonite crystals, arranged in layers, which give it its characteristic luster and iridescence. Pearls come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from creamy white to pink, peach, black, and even metallic hues.
Fun fact: Natural pearls, formed without human intervention, are quite rare and were historically prized for their beauty and rarity. In ancient times, they were associated with wealth, royalty, and purity. However, in the early 20th century, the development of pearl cultivation techniques revolutionized the pearl industry. Today, the majority of pearls on the market are cultured, meaning they are cultivated by inserting an irritant (such as a piece of shell) into the mollusk to stimulate pearl production. Despite this, natural pearls remain highly sought after and command premium prices among collectors and connoisseurs.
