This is how you distinguish a natural pearl from a cultured pearl

Finding and seeking jewelry that contains pearls is not a difficult task, but recognizing the type of pearl, is indeed more complicated than you think.

The history of pearls goes back to prehistoric times, when they were elaborated exclusively for royalty.

Due to their success, pearl banks began experiencing shortage, which provoked the insurgence of new methods; such is the case of the pearl culturing process to obtain them.

 But, do you really know what are the differences that distinguish one from the other?

A genuine pearl is born from the pain that a parasite generates on the inside of a marine oyster. As time goes by, it has to heal that irritation and it does so through a scar, that then transforms into a beautiful and delicate pearl.

In the case of culturing, oysters go through a surgical process where a small shell bead along with a tiny piece of mantle tissue is implanted, this works as a sac where the formation process takes place.

Through this method, pearls can be more regularly acquired, since there is production control.
