Natural pears vs Cultured pears
Natural pearls: occur in the wild, without any human assistance. They are hunted and are quite rare.
Cultured pearls:are grown under controlled conditions by pearl farmers. They plant a core made up of mussel shell into an oyster ; then the oyster forms a pearl around this irritant, just as they do when forming natural pearls. Pearl farmers design cultured pearls from start to finish, ensuring they are perfectly shaped and luminous.
