Mabe pearls take their name from the mussel "Mabe-Gai" (Pteria penguin) in which they grow. Unlike many other pearls, the mabe pearl grows on the inside of the Mussel shell. This is how the typical shape of these pearls is formed: Flat on one side, semi-curved on the other; this is why this shape is also known as a half pearl. Pieces of jewelry in which the surrounding Mussel shell is used in addition to the actual pearl are also very attractive.
