About Cultured Pearls;
In the early part of the 20th century, Japanese researchers discovered a method of producing pearls artificially. The method involves inserting a foreign substance, or nucleus, into the tissue of the oyster , then returning it to the sea, allowing a cultured pearl to develop naturally. . Although patented in 1916 this technique has since been improved upon and used extensively throughout the pearling world - no longer simply used to cultured akoya pearls, but freshwater, South Sea and Tahitian pearls as well.
Today, purchasing pearls from nearly any store in the world means purchasing a strand of cultured pearls.
