Found Pearls in Oysters

by Vivian
(Friendswood, Texas)

I have found a few pearls in my oysters in the past years and just found another last night.

I would like to know how to clean these or what is the best thing to do with them.

Can anyone give me some advice?
Thank you

I bit down on a round pearl while eating my oyster. I want to know the value, what should I do?

Kari,

I have not taken a picture as of yet. It will be forthcoming though. I found one last night and the others have been found through the years. My husband and I eat them as often as we can, plus I have some good friends in the shrimping business.
Thanks for the advice.

Unusual to find pearls
by: Kari

Hi Vivian, I think it's unusual that you have found more than one pearl....you must eat oysters often.

You should be able to clean them with soap and water.

One idea is to have them made into a special piece of jewelry for yourself and as an heirloom to pass on. A local jeweler may be able to help you design a neat piece.

Natural pearls are very special. The value depends on many factors.

Thanks for sharing. Any photos?
