A pearl oyster can mean one of two things. 1: A mollusk that grows a pearl inside itself,Guest Posting either in the wild or in a farm where pearls are cultured inside living oysters. 2: A genuine oyster with a pearl inside given as something special, traditionally in a can, and called a wish pearl or a love pearl.



An oyster can take 2-5 years to grow a 5-7 mm pearl. These are typically how big is pearl oyster in a can gifts, and the colours range between white or cream to peach or purple. Larger pearls can take a lot more years to cultivate, so when the pearl grows there are more chances of an irregularity forming, meaning that very large perfectly spherical pearls are rare and therefore of quality value. Natural pearls will come in nearly every hue of the rainbow, with some colours being more highly prized than others.



Pearl oysters have been cultivated for a long time. Some countries traditionally collect young oysters from the wild using divers, and place them in 'farms' where they are often tended and monitored. long island oysters have taken pearl oyster farming to a new level, breeding oysters in captivity and seeding them with natural or manmade irritants to make them produce pearls.



Pearls are made from a coating that a live oyster applies around a foreign object caught in its body. Oftentimes, wild oysters commence to manufacture pearls organically around a grain of sand. Layer upon layer is applied, and the pearl grows in size and lustre. One oyster can hold multiple pearls, although when it is the case all are usually small.



Many pearl farms have perfected the art harvesting pearls without damaging the oyster then reseeding and returning it to the farm to create yet more pearls. Once the pearl oyster stops producing, it may be used as meat.



A pearl oyster in a can is a live oyster still cultivating a pearl. It is a fun gift to provide to someone you care about as the mystery will be revealed - what colour will the pearl be? How big will it be? The excitement could be contagious. Love pearls could be collected and later strung and worn for good luck.
