Pearls were first discovered in America in the Pacific coast of Mexico and the coast of Lower California. “These pearls are noted for the great variety of colors they display. A large percentage are black, others are white, brown, peacock green etc. Generally they are small and of irregular form.” (Kunz, The Book of Pearls, 1908).

Europeans knew of these pearls from the explorations of Hernando Cortés. Companies were set up by various European countries to trade in the Mexican pearls. The local natives were used to dive for them. These pearls became so popular that after a certain amount of time the area had to be abandoned due to the lack of new mollusks.
