How are natural and artificial pearls created?
How are natural and artificial pearls created?
Pearls are made from small strange particles that deposit between the shell and the mantle of the oyster. These particles trigger a defense process by the organism and they are gradually covered by calcium carbonate layers secreted by the oyster thus giving birth to pearls.
In the artificial production of pearls a small fragment of shell covered with mantle pieces is inserted between the shell and the mantle of an oyster and a pearl is formed around the graft.
