Natural pearls are truly fascinating gems that are not mined from the earth, but rather come from living organisms. Natural pearls are formed inside the shells of certain mollusks, such as oysters and mussels. Artificial pearls are the most common type of pearls available today. These pearls are grown with the help of humans who insert an irritant into the mollusk to stimulate pearl formation. Cultured pearls can be either freshwater or saltwater pearls, depending on the type of mollusk used.
One of the main differences between freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls is their size. Freshwater pearls tend to be smaller in size compared to saltwater pearls. Saltwater pearls are known for their intense luster and shine. This is due to the fact that they have a thinner nacre coating. Freshwater pearls come in a wide variety of colors including white, pink, lavender, and even metallic colors. Saltwater pearls, on the other hand, are usually white or cream-colored, although they can also come in shades of silver, gold, and black.
