Remember seeing those old painting of the queens all draped with long ropes of pearls? Those were most likely "natural pearls," although, even back then, they had ways of making artificial pearls. Natural pearls are still being found all over the world...even 10 miles from my home here in eastern Iowa, people find natural freshwater pearls in the Mississippi River.
Ahhhhh, "freshwater"....now just what does that mean? That's an easy one. Any pearl found in a body of water that's freshwater, like a lake, river, creek, is a "freshwater" pearl.
"Sea pearls" or "saltwater pearls" are found in bodies of saltwater such as oceans, seas, or gulfs.
So what exactly does "cultured" mean? Is it a "real" pearl?
Well....are the strawberries you buy at the grocery store "real strawberries"?
Yes, "cultured pearls" are "real pearls."
Say someone really liked strawberries, but could never find enough of them in the woods, or the ones they found were too small, or too tasteless?
That person is glad that some intelligent folks figured out how to propagate strawberries and develop them into large, sweet, red gems that explode with flavor.
