Mussel bead inside an oyster
Authentic
cultured pearls are crafted when mussel beads are impeccably inserted into
oysters, and such pearls make the ornaments of Timeless Pearl. The reaction of the
chemicals in the oysters against the irritants results in the formations of the
precious jewels. Multiple layers of nacre coatings on the beads produce pearls.
This is how pearls are cultured across the world.
Color of a pearl and oyster’s
interior
Another interesting fact is that the hues of cultured pearls
are determined by the shades that the respective oysters have in their
interiors. If the interior is pink, then the pearl obtains a pink hue. If the

is truly a magical touch of Mother Nature.
