Cultured pearl earrings

Pearls are natural gems that are produced by the organic processes. An oyster covers sand particles with delicate layers of nacre in order to defend itself against this foreign body. Many covers of oyster’s secretions give rise to round and smooth pearl. On the other hand, cultured pearls are produced by artificially placing the shell bead nucleus inside the oyster. This enhances the oyster to create the layers of nacre leading to the formation of cultured pearls. Large oysters in South Pacific produce famous Tahitian black cultured pearls and South Sea cultured pearls.

Cultured pearls can be easily obtained and hence, cultured pearl jewelry is more reasonably priced.
