People think that pearls come from sand grains, but the process is not so simple. Here's how pearls are formed.

It all starts when a strange object enters the son. To protect themselves, boys begin to cover objects in layers of nacre minerals.

After many layers overlap each other for 2 years, pearls are created.

Pearls come in many shapes and colors, but black is only available in the South Pacific. But due to high demand, the jewelry industry has developed a method of producing artificial pearls. It takes a lot of effort to create a small pearl.
