Jewels of the Sea – Pearls

Program Information

Pearls are the only gemstone to come from a living creature! Depending on audience age, discuss pearl diving, pearl formation/farming, and/or pearl history. Pearls are formed in mollusk shells and come in many shapes and colors. They are prized amongst jewelers. Most pearls today are cultured, meaning they are grown in a pearl farm. After a discussion or presentation, participants “dive” for their own pearls with which to create their own keychain or bracelet. A coloring sheet is included for children who finish their crafts early.

Suggested runtime: 60 min.
