- Very light pink baroque pearls, medium size at 5x6mm on 16-inch strand
- Pearls are formed inside bivalves (similar to oysters), which coat any foreign
substance that gets inside their shell with a smooth layer of pearly nacre to eliminate the irritation. This coating grows over time increasing the pearl's luster and size. The color is influenced by minerals in the water.
- The Chinese cultured some pearls in the 12th or 13th century, but the Japanese developed it into an industry in the 1890s, inserting mother-of-pearl beads as the basis of their cultured pearls.
