Wild or natural, non cultured pearls, have had no human intervention in their creation, with cultured pearls a mother of pearl bead has been inserted into an oyster, with natural pearls such as these they have grown inside an oyster layer by layer on their own, there has been no bead inserted inside. Each layer is a layer of nacre, and this goes throughout the pearls structure. Cultured pearls can loose their luster due to the fact the thin nacre layers have worn off and therefore a natural pearl necklace which has been looked after can retain its beauty for hundreds of years as all the layers continue throughout the entire pearl, they are an investment, they also have a richer luster.
