Freshwater pearls form when a foreign body, such as sand or a shell fragment, penetrates the interior of the mollusk. In an attempt to defend themselves, molluscs cover the foreign body with layers of nacre, which consist of crystallized calcium carbonate. Thus, over time, a pearl is formed. Each mollusk and the environment in which it lives can influence the characteristics of the resulting pearl, including its size, shape and color.
