Bible | Pearl (Heb. gabish, Job 28:18; Gr. margarites, Matt. 7:6; 13:46; Rev. 21:21). The pearl oyster is found in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. Its shell is the "mother of pearl," which is of great value for ornamental purposes (1 Tim. 2:9; Rev. 17:4). Each shell contains eight or ten pearls of various sizes.

Literature | Pearl (The). Dioscorides and Pliny mention the belief that pearls are formed by drops of rain falling into the oyster-shells while open; the rain-drops thus received being hardened into pearls by some secretions of the animal. According to Richardson, the Persians say when drops of spring-rain fall into the pearl-oyster they produce pearls. "Precious the tear as that rain from the sky Which turns into pearls as it falls on the sea." Thomas Moore. "Pearls ... are believed to be the result of an abnormal secretory process caused by an irritation of the mollusk consequent on the intrusion into the shell of some foreign body, as a grain of sand, an egg of the mollusk itself, or perhaps some cercarian parasite."- G. F. King: Gems, etc., chap. xii. p. 211. Cardan says that pearls are polished by being pecked and played with by doves. (De Revum Varietate, vii. 34.) Pearl For Cleopatra melting her pearl in honour of Antony, see Cleopatra. A similar act of vanity and folly is told by Horace (2 Satire, iii. verse 239). Clodius, son of AEsop the tragedian, drew a pearl from his ear of great value, melted it in a strong acid, and drank to the health of Cecilia Metella. This story is referred to by Valerius Maximus, Macrobius, and Pliny. Horace says, "Qui sanior, ac si Illud idem in rapidum flumen jaceretve cloacam!' Sir Thomas Gresham, it is said, when Queen Elizabeth dined with him at the City banquet, melted a pearl worth 15,000, and drank to her health. "Here fifteen thousand pounds alone clap goes Instead of sugar, Gresham drinks the pearl Unto his queen and mistress." Thomas Heywood. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A pearl is a hard, rounded object produced by certain mollusks, primarily oysters, and is culivated or harvested for jewelry. Pearls are formed inside the shell of certain bivalve mollusks. As a response to an irritating object inside the shell, the mollusk will deposit layers of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of the minerals aragonite or calcite (crystalline forms of calcium carbonate) held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination of calcium carbonate and conchiolin is called nacre.The unique luster of pearls depends upon the reflection and refraction of light from the translucent layers and is finer in proportion as the layers are thinner and more numerous. The iridescence which some pearls display is caused by the overlapping of successive layers, which breaks up light falling on the surface. Pearls are usually white, sometimes with a creamy or pinkish tinge, but may be tinted with yellow, green, blue, brown, or black. Black pearls, because of their rarity, are often highly valued.
Japanese female pearl diver
Almost all pearls used for jewelry nowadays are cultured by planting a core into oysters. The pearls are usually harvested two years after the planting. This mariculture process was first developed by Kokichi Mikimoto from Japan, who was granted a patent for the process in 1896. The original Japanese cultured pearls are produced by a species of small oysters no bigger than 6 to 7 cm in size, hence Japanese pearls larger than 10mm in diameter are extremely rare and highly priced. In the past couple of decades, cultured pearls have been produced with larger oysters in the south Pacific and Indian Ocean. South Sea pearls are characterized by their large size and silvery color, 14mm in diameter are not uncommon. Australia is one of the most important sources of South Sea pearls.
Recently (in the 1990s), the Japanese also invested in producing cultured pearls with fresh (brackish?) water mollusks in the region of Shanghai, China. Freshwater pearls are characterized by the reflection of rainbow color in the luster.
The value of the pearls in jewelry is determined by a combination of the luster, color, size, lack of surface flaw and symmetry that are appropriate for the type of pearl under consideration. Amongst those attributes, luster is the most important differentiator of pearl quality according to jewelers. For example, a small Japanese pearl is often valued higher than a bigger south sea pearl. Large perfectly round pearls are rare and highly valued and reserved for making rings. Teardrop shaped pearls are often used in pendants. Irregular shaped pearls are often used in necklaces.
