Perlaustern in a jar, bottom right an open oyster with three white pearls. (Undated recording). Cultured pearls, like naturally grown pearls, develop in the pearly louse by a separation of mother-of-pearl around a foreign body in the shell. For breeding, this foreign body is intentionally deposited in young pearl loams. As in the natural process, it takes about seven years for a pearl to mature. | usage worldwide
