Pearls have always been expensive, so much so that the 20th century saw the emergence of the cultured pearl.
Pearl ShapesSOURCE OF PEARLS
Pearls are now preferred to diamonds - for a long time, then, they were thought
of as a badge of respectability, almost of authority rather than the exotic and
fascinating jewels that they are. Pearls are formed as a result of layer upon
layer of a substance known as nacre, secreted by the oyster.
Literally hundreds of oysters have to be opened before one is found with a
pearl. Nor can you cut it neither shape it as you can with other gems. They
improve with wear, picking up faint traces of oil from your skin - so rub them
with soft chamois leather rather than washing them.
