Cultured Pearl Strands

The beauty of Cultured Pearls begins from a small irritant (often a natural shell bead and/or piece of fleshy tissue) implanted into living oysters (Akoya and South Sea pearls) or mussels (Freshwater pearls). These oysters or mussels then secrete a substance called “nacre” which bonds to the irritant, creating layers that form a beautiful pearl.
