The Famous Majorica pearls have been made on the Spanish island of Majorca since 1890. They have a closer resemblance to natural pearls than any other type of imitation pearl.They begin with high density solid glass balls of a specific weight similar to that of real pearls. These nuclei are dipped into a special pearly liquid, t...he coated nuclei are then dried and polished by hand to remove imperfections such as bumps and blemishes. This coating process is repeated around 30 times until a multitude of fine layers is formed over the nuclei to build up the density and colour. To assure durability, the multiple layers are subjected to various gases and solutions that make them impervious to discoloration, chipping and peeling.
