The only trouble is that these pearls are often irregular in shape, therefore not so desirable. So to make a perfect cultured pearl, it is necessary to insert the irritating material with a bit of the nacre-forming substance of the mantle within the body of the oyster.

Artificial pearls are quite another thing; They are produced simply because natural pearls are both rare and expensive. They vary greatly in quality and value, from costly imitations which only experts can tell from real ones, to strings sold in the cheaper stores. | The best aritificial pearls are| made by a’ French process.
