Pearls now come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors never imagined before. No longer is the pearl limited to just the round and white. Irregularly shaped pearls are now popular as well and that includes the mabe variety.
They maybe unheard of but yes, there’s a pearl variety called mabe that possesses a very unique shape. This type is a large, half-spherical cultured pearl with a flat back that grows on the interior shell of a mollusk and not on its body. Also known as the blister pearl while still inside the oyster (Pteria penguin), mabe pearls are intentionally grown ideally in tropical and subtropical waters.
