AWARENESS ABOUT NATURAL GEMSTONES THAT WE SELL
Unlike the various gemstones that are excavated from the earth, a living organism produces a Pearl, and, in fact, their very existence is an aberration of mother nature. A Pearlstone is formed when a parasite or a piece of shell, becomes inadvertently wedged in an oyster’s soft inner body, making it to emanate a crystalline substance called the nacre, which builds up around the parasite in the form of layers until a Pearl is formed. Cultured Pearls are also formed through the same process, but the only difference is that the parasite is lodged in the oyster rather than making it happen naturally. Till the starting of the 20th century, the only way of procuring Real Pearl was through the help of divers, who risk their lives at a depth of up to 100ft to recoup the Pearl oysters. It has always been a perilous activity and the one who dives deep into the sea possesses a slender chance of success as a ton of oysters would give up only three or four desired quality Pearls. Freshwater molluscs dwelling in the shallow rivers and streams were comparatively easier to collect, but these Pearl beds were often chartered for garnering by royalty.
