Is the Mabe pearl real?

1 Answer
Is the Mabe pearl real?
Yes, Mabe pearls are real. A Mabe pearl is a composite blister half-pearl grown against the inside of the mollusk’s shell, instead of the mollusk’s tissue. You’ll find a large variety of Mabe pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
