Trending This is how nature gives us the precious gift of pearl! We get very beautiful pearls from the shells that are found in the sea. These precious pearls are used in jewelry making and decoration. But, have you ever wondered, how are pearls formed in the depths of the sea? What is there in oyster, which is needed to make pearl? Understand: Pearls are considered a precious gift of nature, formed inside oysters in the depths of the sea. This oyster, found in the depths of the sea, is a small marine animal, which protects its body with its shell. Sometimes a small particle of sand or parasite gets inside the oyster. To protect itself from this, it begins to cover it with a special liquid. This liquid is called ‘Nacker’, which is made of calcium carbonate and many types of proteins. The oyster covers the particles in it with several layers of knicker. Gradually these layers become hard, which later takes the shape of a pearl. It can take anywhere from 6 months to 4 years to create a pearl. Natural pearls are available in different colors. Some pearls are white, some are pink, and some are even black. The luster and color of a pearl depends on the layers of the nacre. Nowadays, pearls are also made by artificial methods, which are called ‘cultured pearl’. In this, pearls are made artificially by putting grains in oysters. Click here for more stories of life and style Click here
