Cultured pearls are real pearls that are formed naturally by a mollusk with assistance from man. A shell bead is inserted into the mollusk to act as a seed. The mollusks are then put back in the water and watched carefully on the farm. Non-nucleated pearls are extremely rare and expensive. Keshi pearls and freshwater pearls are a great alternative for those who want all natural pearls.
