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.
