Pearls are an organic gem, created by Nature. A pearl is created when oysters cover any object with beautiful layers of nacre.
Long ago, pearls were considered to be very sound and important financial assets, equivalent to owning a house of your own, as thousands of oysters had to be searched for only one pearl. They were rare because they were created only by chance.
Today, pearls are cultured by man. Oysters are stimulated to cover beads with nacre and create the pearls. Pearls are available in white and beautiful hues of off white and pink. They are also available in black.

I really like this kind of teaser. Great job brainster!!!
Thanks reddragon, I am glad you had fun with it!
The teaser was pretty easy...but...I really like all the info that you include about the answer. Good job! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks locomom, I was kinda running out of precious stones with well known names!
Wow! fifth post! =D I'm usually 100th. That was a good one and nice facts at the end too.
Great Job! Keep them coming!!
Got the first part, but....
Very fun! Struggled with unscrambling "pearl" for a few minutes until I looked at the title. Always a huge hint on this series. Thanks for submitting another good one.
I didnt see the title, it doesnt show on my screen, and I couldn't figure out the last word, but I got all the words unscrambled, yay! I love pearls, real ones that is, of course, not cultured. heehee! Thanks for the teaser, brainster!
Me too, Shawnee. Got all the letters, just didn't get the final answer--Pearl. However, I did see the title, just didn't pay any attention to it. From now on I will pay attention to any clues that are offered.Great Tease. Fun to do.
Pretty easy one, but I love word teasers and always enjoy them. Thanks
Very fun! And challenging! Good job!
Opps! Sorry for the tongue sticking out! I meant
I got the first part, but not "pearl". The titles can definitely help, if you pay attention.
Simple teaser, but a lot of useful info follows the answer.That was great!
Nice one! I really liked that you went the extra mile to give us that informative write up on pearls at the end.
I got "paler" because I ignored the title, and there was nothing in the instructions specifying we were looking for the name of a gem.
loved this one, got it in 10 secs....
love wordy ones keep `em coming......
love wordy ones keep `em coming......
ps: rmhaustin. it did state `Gemstone ` series at the top of the article.... thats your clue
Yayyyyy! I GT IT! One of my birthstones is pearl, so I especially appreciate your extra information!
very easy but still fun
Very easy, for me. But, ALL of these type of teasers are fun! It is up to each individual, to decide how they will have fun with, or not, with each teaser. Anything that will get your mind working on something other than a few troubles can definitely be fun. Keep them coming.
VERY FUN!
But, pearls aren't created by "nature", they are created naturaly (by God, thee Creator...naturaly)

Good one Brainster!
i loved that one it was challenging and fun
Kool-- i got it, and thanks for the history lesson. Also note that "cultured pearls are almost perfectly shaped, but natural pearls can be irregular in shape. Just an extra!
it was easy, but... the words could go on.. such as.. find 2 words with 1 set of letters then take letters 2 and 4 from one word and 1 and 4 from the other. Hey.. someone make this game. I want to play it.. or maybe i'll make it.. we'll see
I got pearl before finishing award!!! Then again, pearl is one of my birthstones too!!
This was easy but fun!! Keep them coming!!
This was easy but fun!! Keep them coming!!
Fun, but extremely easy (words were pretty short, so too easy to figure out)
It was pretty easy but I don't understand why 'pearl' is the 'answer' to 'play', 'award' and 'let.'
Nice!
I enjoyed the two-part aspect of this teaser. Fortunately, all of the words were fairly short so I got all of them.
I noticed, too,after the fact, that there is no title until you go to the answer. The instructions do not mention one. Now, that I know that every teaser has a title I'll sneak a peek for that bit of help.

I like these type of teasers. Good
Good one. I read it yesterday, but finally got the time to comment on it today. It was fun! Good job!
nice teaser, i unscrambled the 3 words to get the letters, but could not get the answer. i think i'm brain dead. great teaser send more.
forgot to thank you for info on pearls. i didn't know how cultured pearls were made.
Okay, I'm not looking at the answer until I post my comment.
"Brainster, what is PEARL?"
Thanx for another fun Jumbler.

Thanks for your comments people! I am glad most of you enjoyed it!
Darn, I didn't read the title either, and got PALER.
Good teaser though. Seemed easy enough, except that I got it wrong!
unConfuseMe: isn't 'nature' the same thing as what some would call 'God'? or vice versa: isn't 'God' the same thing as what some would call 'Mother Nature'? the source of all natural things? I think saying that 'nature' created something is a friendly noncommittal nonoffensive way of leaving the details up to the beliefs of the individual reading it.

That was pretty confusing but still really good and it made me think!!!!

Yeah! I got this one. Nice job! And thanks for the interesting facts. More please?
nice one....i must be tired cuz i couldnt put it all together
Easy but fun.
Pearl lovers should have a look at the beautiful Akaroa Pearls - www.akaroabluepearls.co.nz/
As for God and nature - to me, 'Mother Nature' is a term used that personifies the forces that control the physical world. These were created by God. Nature creates nothing; it is the creation.
I know this is not a forum for religious debate - but I think we like to utilise correct terminology!

Hi Auntie SIS
Hi Auntie SIS
Hi Gayle, Loved this teaser. Love pearls !
Interesting and easy.
That was fun! I enjoyed reading the info, also. Thanks!
NICE ONE, KEEP IT UP!!!
I am first in 2012 again. The teaser was easy and fun also. Don't understand why the confusion to some, but then again I have been confused when everyone thought it was easy so it is good to be on this side for a while. Good one. Thanks!
Fun ,though easy. I too am not sure why there was confusion. I had the word pearl before I finished solving the second word. Of course, I did see the title, and Pearl is my middle name ((shh don't tell anyone - I don't usually).
And for those who were discussing God/Nature, as a poster above me stated, this not the place. There is an entire category on religious quizzes that would welcome such discussions. We are not all of the same religion and all have out own belief system. Wouldn't want to see arguments erupt over i (as they often do).

Also paler
That was easy!
Nice & easy fun teaser; I guessed - 'Pearl' straight away, then solved it as per instructions, thanks!
I had a little more trouble with the answer because I didn't read the title.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it right away.
Fun and easy. I went with 'paler'. I think the instructions should intidate the final answer is a gemstone.
