Cultured pearls
Posted by Emily Emily on Sunday, June 17, 2012
Cultured pearls are pearls that are manufactured artificially. Growers use oysters and are able to monitor the process to the extent of producing perfect pearls in terms of colors and mainly shape.
It is indeed blessed technology because it enables to produce a great number of pearls and their price, thus, is lower siginificantly. In the past (100 year ago) pearls could be only be afforded by rich women and they were a symbol of status. Today, in contrast, pearls have become more widespread as more and more woman, not necessarily rich, can wear them. Technology helps the beautification of females!!! And that is great.
On the other hand, if you ask me, I still prefer the natural pearls. They are far more expensive, but you can really tell the difference between a pearl made in a factory and an exotic pearl taken out of the deep sea
