Pearls come in many varieties and colors. There is the natural saltwater variety that’s the costliest. There are many others like fresh water pearls, Akoya pearls from Japan, Tahitian pearls, these are the cultured varieties. Basically pearls are naturally formed inside an oyster, when an irritant from the outside environment enters the insides of an oyster, to protect itself from the intruder the oyster starts secreting a substance called nacre which then settles layer by layer on the irritant object. In the course of time this settlement of nacre forms a sphere shaped gem called the pearl. The whole process is time taking and hence if left on the nature an ordinary man wouldn’t have been able to afford a pearl as it would be the costliest for its rarity.
