The birth of a pearl it is a wonderful event. Unlike precious stones or metals that must be extracted from the Earth, pearls are created by alive mussels in the depths of the sea. Precious stones must polish before they show his beauty; pearls do not need such treatments to reveal his enchantment. They are born with iridiscente luster and smooth internal brightness that is not equaled to any other gem in the world. Pearls natural life begins when a strange object, like a parasite or a particle of sand, lodges by accident in the smooth body of the mussel from which it cannot be expelled.

In a effort to alleviate this annoyance, the body of the mussel initiates a defensive action. The mussel begins to secrete a smooth and simultaneously hard crystalline substance around the irritating object, with the purpose of protecting itself. This substance is called nacre. While the strange body remains within the body of the mussel, this one will continue secreting nacre around the object, layer after layer. After several years, the irritating object will be locked up totally within this silky crystalline layer.
