MABE Pink Pearl Ring - Bali Legacy Collection, 925 SS, size 6.75

MABE pearls are real pearls. Formation: They form naturally inside the oyster's shell, just like other pearls. Cultivation: While they're cultured, it involves natural processes with the oyster producing nacre around a nucleus. Difference from traditional pearls: The main difference is their shape. Mabe pearls are half-round because they grow attached to the shell, unlike traditional pearls that form within the oyster's body.
