Pearl Carving Practices

  • shallow circumference groove, for a rope or band to be wrapped around the pearl as a means of easy transportation
  • distinct symbols and patterns across the pearl, to channel magical energies or to attract luck, wealth, happiness or other positivity
  • elaborate patterns and reliefs covering the entire pearl, as a symbol of status, affiliation, experience or age
  • carved into figurines of deities, creatures or other symbols, to attract divine blessings, denote status or channel energies
  • carefully hollowed out pearls, to contain personal artifacts or items of high value, or to start anew after a bad past

If you want some more inspiration for this, check out Galatea Pearls, they’re so gorgeous:

I wonder if Pearlcatchers could implant other gems to use as a seed for their pearls like this artist does?
