Freshwater cultured pearls are made from a substance called nacre. Nacre is a natural secretion produced by mollusks as a response to irritation or an irritant (such as a small bead or piece of tissue) being introduced into their shells. Over time, layers of nacre build up around the irritant, forming a pearl. The composition of nacre consists primarily of calcium carbonate (around 85%) and conchiolin (a protein that binds the calcium carbonate particles together). The combination of these substances gives the pearl its lustrous, shiny surface.
