Pearl is actually formed in a shellfish as a reaction to sand or other debris. Natural pearls are the most expensive, followed by cultured pearls, and finally by freshwater pearls. Cultured pearls may be formed by artificially placing irritants inside mussels.

Pearls are usually white, brown, silver, cream, black, or pink, depending on the type of shellfish that created them. Pearl prices vary widely as a result of luster, size, nacre thickness, color, and type.
