[Pearl Type] Mabe [Description] 
Mabe pearls are cultured blister pearls with a hemispherical nucleus placed against the shell wall (not in the tissue as with other cultured pearls). After the domed pearl is cut away from the shell the nucleus is removed and replaced with resin. The open side is covered with mother-of-pearl.
