Centuries ago, the most expensive jewelry in the world wasn’t made of diamonds, rubies, or emeralds.  Rather, they were made from an extremely rare substance that was occasionally found inside of mollusks: pearls. Pearls were so valuable that they would only be possessed by kings, queens, and emperors.  Today, the manner in which pearls are made is pretty much the same, but they are more common than at any point in history.  Learn more about pearls, how they are made, and how they have been harvested throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
