How is a pearl formed?
• Cultured Pearl – formed from an oyster, made of many layers of nacre deposited around an irritant introduced by man. • Natural Pearl – nacre forms around an irritant which lodges within the body of the oyster – a naturally occurring event. • How to tell if a pearl is genuine – sometimes you can tell by taking a look at the nacre and blemishes – look closely at where the hole is drilled.
