What are cultured pearls?

Often referred to as the world's first and oldest gemstones, pearls have been a luxurious addition to women's jewelry boxes for centuries. They were only found in their natural forms, created by ocean-grown oysters, and were incredibly rare. Now cultured pearls offer a similar beauty at a much more affordable price.

You may have asked yourself: Are cultured pearls real? The answer is yes. Cultured pearls are 100% natural - produced by manually inserting a bead into an oyster. Cultured pearls can take up to two years to fully form. This process gives growers more control over the resulting size and shape, making these perfect for a wide selection of designs and colors.
