Does pearls form from rain drops?
No, pearls do not form from raindrops. Pearls are formed inside oysters when an irritant (such as a piece of sand or debris) becomes trapped inside the oyster. The oyster then secretes layers of nacre around the irritant to form a pearl over time.
Why are natural pearl expensive?
Natural pearls take years to form, and they are basically an accident. If something as small as a grain of sand gets into the oyster, the muscle/flesh becomes irritated; therefore coating the flesh with a cement covering. This continues for many years until you have a pearl. The chances of finding a natural pearl are quite low, thus the value increases.
How many years does it take to form a pearl?
A natural pearl, which is rather rare, can form over a wide range of time periods, ranging from years to decades. Cultured pearls, which are simply man-made spheres implanted into the appropriate species of shellfish and covered with thin layers of nacre, take a much shorter time, and are harvested after one to five years.
What color pearls can you get?
While white, and more recently black, saltwater pearls are by far the most popular, other color tints can be found on pearls from the oceans. Pink, blue, champagne, green, black and even purple saltwater pearls can be encountered, but to collect enough of these rare colors to form a complete string of the same size and same shade can take years.
How often is a pearl found in a oyster?
A natural pearl begins its life inside an oyster's shell when an intruder, such as a grain of sand or bit of floating food, slips in between one of the two shells of the oyster, a type of mollusk, and the protective layer that covers the mollusk's organs, called the mantle.In order to protect itself from irritation, the oyster will quickly begin covering the uninvited visitor with layers of nacre--the mineral substance that fashions the mollusk's shells. Layer upon layer of nacre, also known as mother-of-pearl, coat the grain of sand until the iridescent gem is formed.Cultured pearls are made in the same way. The only difference is that instead of accidental circumstances, a "pearl farmer" embeds a grain of sand into the mollusk. But It Takes 6-8 Years to make the pearlit can take up to 35 years for a clam to make a pearl because its lazyIt can take as little as a few months to form a seed pearl (natural). Cultured pearls vary by species and take as little as six months (short-cultured akoya) to six years (large, tissue-grafted freshwater).Well, it depends on the type of pearl, what color and how big you would like the pearl. I'm assuming you are talking about cultured pearls, since you asked how long. Akoya pearls can take up to one to two years to culture and Black Tahitian pearls can take up to seven years to be cultured. As for natural pearls, you never know because they are natural, but the smaller ones can grow within a year.More information and pearls here: http://www.pinnaclepearls.com
