Hi there, just wanted to mention, I enjoyed this article.
It was practical. Keep on posting!
The passion of pearl is really nice blog, I am also obsessed with pearls. especially the rare one. They are beautiful and amazing but on the other hand I also feel bad for killing a creature just to get these pearls.
Hello Shirley, we are so happy you love pearls and enjoy our website and blog.
In some places they are able to open the shell only a little bit and extract the pearl and sometimes the shell can be renucleated. Quite often the mollusk will die as it is finishing it life span anyway, in some cases it prolongs the lifespan (as they aren’t in the wild).
Bivalve mollusks do not have a central nervous system so they don’t feel any pain, so hopefully this is re-assuring for you.
Apart from producing beautiful pearls these mollusks have a positive effect on the water as they clean the water by filtering it through their gills.
Hope this was helpful to you and check out our Facebook page for other interesting facts.
All the best from The Passion for Pearls Team.
