@jnereidpearl: Every pearl has a story. And it starts here. 🦪 This is the anatomy of a pearl oyster — from the hard shell that protects, to the mantle that secretes layer after layer of nacre. A pearl isn't a gift from the ocean. It's the ocean's armor, polished by time. Which part of the oyster do you find most fascinating? 👇 #pearl #oceanstory #jewelrywithmeaning #pearleducation #nacre
