The formation of a natural pearl begins when a foreign substance slips into the oyster and causes irritation. The oyster’s natural reaction is to cover up that irritant to protect itself. The oyster covers the irritant with layers of the substance that is used to create the shell. This eventually forms a pearl.

- Faith

- Purpose
- Love

Irritated? It’s time to produce!

Thanks! It made it plain for me.
