What are cultured pearls then? A Japanese man named Kokichi Mikimoto back in early 20th Century developed the culturing technique. He had mastered the culturing technology in growing the pearls naturally in seawaters but with little human help. This technique of growing cultured pearls is popularly known as the bead-nucleating technology. Ever since there has been great demand for these cultured pearls which are worn everyday by all women around the world.

A very small mantle tissue beads are implanted inside the mollusks or oysters to form beautiful pearls. Pearls are formed inside the body of oysters. The mollusk deposits layer of nacre, a combination of crystalline and organic substances, when any irritant or parasite enters or placed inside its body. Over a period of time with nacre building up in layers upon layers, the pearl is formed.

When diamonds, crystals, and other different kinds of colored-gemstones are popular, designers and jewelry fans never abandon pearls due to their enormous range of shape, color, size, and the variety of other jewelry they easily mix with. Not only this, but they are more affordable than ever. Nowadays, pearl jewelry design is becoming more and more diverse, rather than staying simple.
