These pearls have been used for centuries to make expensive jewelry and clothing items. However, finding a pearl inside of an oyster in the wild is very unlikely, but it has been known to happen. Most pearls used in jewelry these days are made with the help of humans and the clams and the pearl growth are supervised.
