Is there such a thing as a "perfect" pearl?

The "Perfect" Pearl

Freshwater pearls are rarely perfectly round, and you may notice slight imperfections in the surface of a freshwater pearl. This is entirely natural, don't worry! It's rare for a pearl grown in nature to be perfectly round and unblemished. Imitation pearls can be perfectly round and unblemished, which is a clue they may not be real, but manufactured. You may never find a "perfect" freshwater pearl, but that simply adds to their charm and appeal, they have imperfections that make them even more beautiful and unique.
