Yes, Cultured pearls are real actual pearls, but they are formed through human intervention, specifically the implantation of a nucleus into the mollusk to spur pearl growth.
Pearls are more durable than most people think, however avoid exposing pearls to harsh chemicals (perfumes, hairspray, cleaning agents, etc.), pearls should be kept away from sharp or rough objects to avoid scratching, and they should be wiped clean after wear and stored in a soft pouch or case. It is best not to store pearls in dry hot environments, and pearl necklaces may need to be restrung periodically.
Natural pearls grow in the wild without human intervention, so they are very rare, antique. Cultured pearls are grown in pearl farms, with the direct result of human intervention. The vast majority of pearls in the pearl/jewelry market are cultured pearls.
IIG programs are known for it's practical learning approach, we offer more than 2500 pieces and 20 different types of pearls in the Pearl Graduate porgram. Basra, Kesi, Venezuela, Australian.
