About Stone: Pearls are one of the earliest gemstones found by prehistoric man, most likely along the coastline of India. They’ve been used for personal adornment and coveted by peoples throughout the globe for thousands of years. Ancient myths tell of pearls being formed when oysters opened their shells, rose to the water’s surface and were seeded by the early morning rays of sunlight and drops of dew. Pearls are mineral object produced within a living shelled mollusk. Classic pearls are perfectly round. Baroque pearls refer to all the other irregular shaped pearls. Most pearls are cultured or farmed as natural pearls are extremely rare. Pearls are iridescent and classically white, but also come in other colors like pink, brown, and black.
Cultured pearls are not made of pearl material all the way through–they are formed by a non-pearl base which has a thin layer of pearl around it.
