“The Kingdom of heaven is like a jeweler on the lookout for the finest of pearls. When he found a pearl more beautiful and valuable than any jewel he had ever seen, the jeweler sold all he had and bought that pearl, his pearl of great price.” Matthew 13:45-46, The Voice

Natural pearls are the only gemstone which is grown in a living organism. They are formed when an irritant, usually a parasite and not the proverbial grain of sand, works its way into an oyster, muscle, or clam. As a defense mechanism, a fluid is used to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of this coating, called “nacre” is deposited until a lustrous pearl is formed. Fresh water pearls can take between 1 and 6 years to form; whereas saltwater may take between 5 and 20 years.
