The fascination of pearls is that they are one of the few precious jewelry items that are produced by an organism, the oyster.

Pearls can be saltwater or freshwater, come from a variety of species of oysters, and cultured in many places throughout the world. Each of these factors comes into play in understanding prices and values. Within each of these categories, differentiations are made by shape, size, body color, blemishes, luster, overtone, and thickness of nacre.
