Wearing Pearl Gemstone
Pearl known as Mothi in Hindi and “Mukthaphal, Mouktik, Suktiza” in Sanskrit.
Though Pearls occur naturally in the wild, their occurrence is very sporadic and limited.
Almost all Pearl gemstones currently available on the gemstone market are cultured.
Cultured Pearls are produced by inserting a foreign substance known as a nucleus within the body of an oyster or mussel, which in turn causes the organism to grow a pearl around the nucleus.
Oysters are cultivated and harvested in mass numbers for growing Pearls within them.
