Cultured pearls are real pearls. They grow inside living mollusks using the same nacre-formation process as natural pearls, with the only human intervention being the introduction of an initial irritant to start the process.
A Storied Heritage
Pearl is the oldest gem material in human jewelry. Archaeological evidence places it in ancient Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf, where natural pearls were harvested from oyster beds and traded as objects of extraordinary value.
