Pearl is produced by an oyster to protect itself from something that got inside its shell. It secretes nacre, which becomes pearl. Cultured pearls are made by placing a "seed" inside of the oyster shell, and letting the oyster work. Over time, the oyster will deposit nacre onto the seed, forming a pearl.
