PEARLS

The pearl is created when the mollusk accidentally or provoked receives inside an external material, such as a grain of sand or any foreign body. At that moment the mollusk, to protect itself, develops a series of crystalline and concentric layers on the object to isolate it inside.

This coating is made of calcium carbonate crystals and a protein called conchiolin, both together produce nacre, which is also seen inside the shells. From almost 3 years approximately it becomes a pearl.

By the same principle, man has created cultured pearls, introducing spherical pieces of mother-of-pearl of different sizes, usually spherical, into the interior of different types of oysters and molluscs, creating cultures and over time obtaining pearls of different sizes and qualities, influencing them. , more or less cultivation time, water quality, mollusc feeding and the different geographical location, the type of mollusc, as well as cultivation techniques.

There are pearls of very different sizes, shapes and colors, very spherical, semi-baroque, baroque, pear-shaped, stick-shaped, drop-shaped, grain of rice, black, grey, green, bluish, silver, pink, very white, chocolate, yellow…and of infinite qualities, by origin, brightness, culture layer, color.

Its price is variable and depends on all these characteristics, as well as the type of production, the moment of international markets, etc.

Although it can be said that the value increases if it has an attractive color (whatever it may be), a great layer of cultivation (time in years), a nice shine, a smooth and especially homogeneous skin and in short a
