Pearls are made by a living animal known as a mollusk. A mollusk forms a pearl when it gets a piece of sand trapped inside it’s shell. As a protective measure, the mollusk then coats the grain of sand with a material called nacre. Like how we think of snow flakes, no two pearls are alike because they are made inside of different kinds of mollusks.
