Mabe pearls are half-pearls that are cultivated on the inside of a mollusk's shell. They are formed when a small nucleus, usually made of mother of pearl, is attached to the shell of the mollusk and left to accumulate nacre over a period of two to three years. Once the pearls are ready for harvest, they are cut out of the shell and their nucleus is removed, leaving a hollow pearl.
Mabe pearls are typically about 10 to 20 millimeters in diameter and have a flat, disc-like shape. They are often white or cream-colored, but can also be found in other colors such as pink, yellow, and green. Mabe pearls are known for their smooth, lustrous surface and their affordability.
Mabe pearls are often used in jewelry, such as necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. They can also be used to create beads and other decorative items. Mabe pearls are a popular choice for jewelry because they are affordable, yet they still have a beautiful appearance
