TIDBIT:
for thousands of years, pearls have been a classic favorite; coveted by royalty for their natural beauty, rarity, luster and shine. To find one is invaluable - only 1 out of 10,000 oysters give up the treasure among all treasures... a single, natural pearl.
pearls today are commonly referred to as cultured pearls as the oysters are given a helping hand and raised in ''farms'' in the oceans and freshwater lakes
a keshi pearl is created by placing a flat piece of Mother-of-Pearl shell inside an oyster. The oyster gradually coats the bead in layers of a pearlescent, organic substance called nacre, which builds-up to eventually create a lustrous pearl.
