Best Answer

Natural pearls take years to form, and they are basically an accident. If something as small as a grain of sand gets into the oyster, the muscle/flesh becomes irritated; therefore coating the flesh with a cement covering. This continues for many years until you have a pearl. The chances of finding a natural pearl are quite low, thus the value increases.
