		A pearl is produced when the mollusk secretes layers of mother-of-pearl (calcium carbonate in the form of aragonite) and conchiolin (a horn-like substance) around an irritant.
		Light reflecting from these overlapping layers near the surface of the pearl flash a subtle spectrum of color, called the "orient of pearl." Depending on the type of mollusk, pearls can be white, pinkish, brown or even fl.
		American freshwaters are allowed to mature for much longer than all other cultured pearls (up to 5 years, compared to 1 year for most others) resulting in a thicker nacre which gives American pearls an unusually high luster and orient (the iridescence from the light reflected from the inside of the pearl).
