Pearl (Moti)

Pearl - The Mother of Gemstones, is treasured for its immense beauty and elegance. The timeless beauty of the Pearl gemstone captivates people since antiquity and is considered a royal gemstone among millennials. 

Pearls are unique among other gemstones. It is an organic gemstone formed inside a living organism called Oysters or Mollusks. Pearls are produced because of the defense mechanism system of the sea creature - Mollusk. When a foreign particle unexpectedly enters the Molluscs' shell, it triggers changes in the mantle that lead to the secretion of a smooth crystalline substance known as nacre.

The foreign particle is believed to be a parasite that causes irritation inside the shell and triggers the release of nacre. Nacre forms a protective layer around the foreign particles. The quality of a real Pearl is also determined by the quality of its nacre. The Pearl formation process now begins and continues for years. This is how a Pearl formation takes place!
