There are many types of pearls:

• natural pearls (made without human interference)
• cultured pearls (made when a foreign substance is intentionally inserted into a living oyster. This method was first used in 1893)
• baroque pearls (pearls that have irregular shapes)
• Biwa pearls (an irregular shaped pearl which forms in the freshwater of Lake Biwa, Japan)
• blister pearls (pearls which grow attached to the inside of the shell)
• black pearls (gray to black pearls)
• freshwater pearls (pearls which form in fresh water mollusks and resemble puffed rice)
• Mabe pearls (cultivated blister pearls )
• seed pearls (small, tiny pearls used in Victorian jewelry and sewn on clothing).
