How wise are your pearls?

Answer 1

..my pearls are freshwater...they fit no predetermined ideal...none are the same in size and shape...nor are the colors always uniform...each has its own singularity...making it more the beautiful for that....in true humility I would say my pearls of wisdom are the same.....

Answer 2

''Creation of a pearl
The difference between natural and cultured pearls focuses on whether the pearl was created spontaneously by nature, without human intervention, or with human aid. Pearls are formed inside the shell of certain bivalve mollusks. As a response to an irritant inside its shell, the mollusk creates a pearl to seal off the irritation.
The mantle of the mollusk deposits layers of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of the minerals aragonite or calcite (both crystalline forms of calcium carbonate) held together by an organic horn-like compound called conchiolin. This combination of calcium carbonate and conchiolin is called nacre, or as most know it, mother-of-pearl. The commonly held belief that a grain of sand acts as the irritant is in fact rarely the case. Typical stimuli include organic material, parasites, or even damage that displaces mantle tissue to another part of the animal's body. These small particles or organisms enter the animal when the shell valves are open for feeding or respiration. In cultured pearls, the irritant is typically a cut piece of the mantle epithelium, together with processed shell beads, the combination of which the animal accepts into its body.''

So I can gather from my research, that pearls have no wisdom at all, but the mollusks that create them.

Answer 6

Wise or not, they are real, all natural, hand-picked personally through years of experience. Wouldn't hesitate to give 'em to whoever comes seeking. Though quite precious,
their value is ascertained by the taker....

I try to be wise but I feel quite dumb (dumb pearls?)

Answer 8

Jury is still out on that one. But being as I so rarely offer them, they might be "wise" even if it is only occasionally.

Answer 9

Far brighter than me.

At 37, well loved (nudge nudge), and still child free in a world I would not like to bring kids up in.

I think they know something.
