JUST A LITTLE ABOUT SHELL PEARLS

How is Shell Pearl Made?

Shell pearl is made from grinding the insides of oyster shells into powder form. The powder is then shaped into different shapes and sizes. After that, they are colored and coated with natural pearl nacre to create a lustrous and durable surface.

This manufacturing process allows for greater control over shell pearls’ final appearance, allowing for uniform shape, size, and color. A single freshwater mussel can produce up to 50 pearls. That’s why this pearl type is a reasonable option for jewelry pieces needed to resemble natural pearls at a lower price.

Are Shell Pearls Real Pearls?

No, shell pearls are not real pearls. They are man-made pearls created to mimic natural pearls. While they are made using materials from oyster shells, they are not formed organically within a mollusk or oyster. Meanwhile, shell pearls are not plastic pearls, they are much more natural and stunning than plastic pearls, though are more expensive.
