Pearls grow when a grain of sand or other foreign object gets inside a mussel or oyster. Cultured pearls have a bead placed inside the mollusc, ensuring each shell harvested has a pearl inside. This technique was first invented by Japanese entreprenuer Mikimoto in 1893. It was such an important invention that in 1985, the Japan Patent Office selected him as one of Ten Japanese Great Inventors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCultured pearls differ from synthetic or imitation pearls because they are real. Synthetic pearls are glass beads that have fish scales glued onto the surface. Cultured pearls are exactly the same as natural pearls except the centre of the pearl, the part that starts the process, is initiated by man rather than by accident.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christine Sadler Unforgettable Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59271038075254,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2102\/7121\/files\/soft-grey-cultured-pearl-earrings.webp?v=1794054637","url":"https:\/\/www.christinesadler.com\/products\/grey-cultured-pearl-8mm-stud-earrings-9ct-gold-fittings","provider":"Christine Sadler Unforgettable Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
