About Pearls
Considered to be one of the most valued gemstone, pearls are either cultivated or harvested. Pearls are used in various products from jewelleries, accessories to ornaments. Pearls are formed as a reaction to foreign substances deposited inside molluscs usually in oysters. Horn-like compound called conchiolin holds layers of crystalline-like calcium carbonate and are deposited inside the shell. |
