Pearl set maker makes a string of pearl in a city of pearl Hyderabad. View of the delicate craftsmanship that goes into the making of pearl jewellery in Hyderabad. A string of pearls is an ornament of timeless beauty. Pearls have been valued for thousands of years because of their luster and rarity. Natural pearls are generally irregular in shape. Natural pearls which are round or spherical in shape are very rare and highly prized. Under natural conditions, only one in ten thousand oysters will produce pearls that are of commercial value. Most pearls today are produced by implanting beads of mother-of-pearl into the tissue of mollusks and then returning them to the water to allow the luster to develop.
