This article is an excellent in-depth look at the beginning of a pearl's life, complete with extremely high magnification photos so you can see for yourself. The shots alone are worth seeing, and what was revealed was surprising to me. Enjoy!

Cool! I've just started looking into pearls. I'm trying to find a good supplier.

Re: PALA: Name the Origin of Pearls
Thanks Lydia but it doesn't look like they have what I need. I'm looking for strands, fully drilled for stringing. They have mostly half drilled and then the only full drill ones are about $5 each which would cost me about $400 for a necklace. I need something at wholesale pricing.
