Pearls are 'grown' by some irritant entering an oyster and the oyster growing a layer of mother-of-pearl (nacre) around it. In natural pearls this is usually a grain of sand and it takes a lot of growing to get a pearl of marketable value. Artificial (cultured) pearls are made by people inserting some round object (the size and shape of the desired pearl) and letting the oyster grow a thin layer of mother-of-pearl around it. This object can be anything but shell or porcelain are preferred as they do not break down. If one uses wood then, over time, the wood will eventually rot and the 'pearl' will fall apart. Such pearls are not valuable and are considered a scam. The only way to tell real pearls from artificial pearls is by using an x-ray machine however it is still difficult to tell what the centre object is made of.
