The Story of Pearls
Pearls are born in the sea. This is your starting point for learning how they form and what makes them special, and for finding the pearl that suits you.
There are many kinds of pearls in the world.
This is because the mother oysters that produce them live in different waters depending on their species.
In general, the warmer the water, the larger the mother oysters grow, and the larger the pearls they produce.
