Pearls are the circular objects that are obtained from the shells of mollusca. The best quality pearls are generally regarded as gemstones and are used for making ornaments.More or less all the molluscs can produce such pearls. But all the pearls do not possess the qualities that are required to make a piece of jewelry. Infact most of the pearls that are obtained from these molluscs are of no use.
