Pearls are formed because foreign material inside a mussel can’t be expelled. To reduce irritation, the mollusk coats the intruder with the same secretion it uses for shell-building. Cultured pearls are more cost-effective than sea pearls - and the least expensive cultured pearls today rival the most expensive natural pearls ever found. All are said to bring positivity and help their wearer be kinder and psychologically healthy. Pearl is also thought to help depression and encourage travel. If you want to make impressive jewellery that everyone appreciates, go for pearls.
