This cultured pearl gift pairs a real freshwater pearl with a pearl of wisdom. Both come in a small box that fits a pocket.
When an irritant enters a mollusk, it coats the intruder in nacre. Farmers speed this up by inserting a round bead.
A pearl can then be harvested in about 18 months. Pearl farming was first perfected in Japan and has since spread worldwide.
This Tennessee River pearl comes from a freshwater farm. Cultured pearls blend human-made and natural processes.
They have been sought after for centuries. See more treasures in our Natural History Collection.
Every box includes a pearl of wisdom, written by Mini Museum wordsmith Erik. A pocket-sized pearl like this makes an easy gift.
Keep the cultured pearl gift in its box. Pearls are soft, so avoid chemicals and rough surfaces.
The same family has run this Tennessee River pearl farm for decades. It raises pearls in fresh water, not in the sea.
