Description
A lovely freshwater pearl necklace with sterling silver beads and wire wrap.
Pearls are the only gems created by a living organism. They are rare to find in the wild, but we have found a way to encourage any oyster to create a cultured pearl.
Cultured pearls are made by inserting an irritant into the oyster or mullosk. Over time, the oyster layers the irritant with nacre (mother-of-pearl). Many layers of nacre eventually transform this irritant into a lustrous pearl. This seeding of the oyster is a natural process, and cultured pearls are considered just as natural as those created in the wild.
