Formation of pearl
Shelled mollusk produce pearl when an irritating microscopic object is trapped within the mollusk's mantle folds.

This was the main reason why pearl necklace fetched such extraordinary prices in the past. A cultured pearl, on the other hand, is one that has been formed with human intervention on a pearl farm.
