Pearls, the highly appreciated organic gems, are known for their unmatched beauty and luster, and also for their auspicious associations with many of the world's religions. Long time ago, pearls were important financial assets, as thousands of oysters had to be searched for only one pearl. They were rare because they were created only by chance.
Today, pearls are easily cultured by Man. Shell beads are placed inside an oyster and the oyster is returned to water. When the pearls are later harvested, the oyster has covered the bead with layers of nacre. Most cultured freshwater pearls are composed entirely of nacre, just like their natural freshwater and saltwater counterparts. The least expensive cultured pearls in the market today rival the quality of the most expensive natural pearls ever found. Modern technology and cutting edge techniques are employed for processing pearls, and also for cleaning, polishing, bleaching, drilling, etc., so as to drastically improve their transparence and luster. Most of stringing work done today is by hand.
