Pearls went with "cultured" as their marketing term.
- hinkley 10y agoI thought cultured pearls were farmed pearls?
- Evolved 10y agoYou're correct. Cultured (usually fresh water) pearls are farmed ones like Akoya pearls. The expensive ones are just referred to as natural (saltwater) pearls.
- protomyth 10y agoYeah, that's what I was going for as one is naturally caught and the other is farmed. Not much difference given diamonds created in the lab are more pure than those mined.
