A pearl
is a hard object produce within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a
living shelled mollusc. Just like the shell of a clam, a pearl is made up of
calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in
concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many
other shapes of pearls (baroque pearls) occur. The finest quality natural
pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many
centuries, and because of this, the word pearl has become a metaphor for
something very rare, fine, admirable, and valuable. The most valuable pearls
occur spontaneously in the wild, but they are extremely rare. These wild pearls
are referred to as natural pearls. Cultured or farmed pearls from pearl oysters
and freshwater mussels make up the majority of those that are currently sold. Cultured
or farmed pearls from pearl oysters and freshwater mussels make up the majority
of those that are currently sold. Imitation pearls are also widely sold in
inexpensive jewelry, but the quality of their iridescence is usually very poor,

Pearls have been harvested and cultivated primarily for use in jewelry, but in
the past they were also stitched onto lavish clothing. Pearls have also been
crushed and used in cosmetics and medicines.
