Little is known about the famed pearl. Likely, Toady has not yet gotten around to fully implementing pearls yet. The creature definitions for the [[mussel]] and [[oyster]] indicate that they leave pearls, but there is no known job for harvesting them. However, an order to "decorate items with pearl/ivory" can be issued from a [[Craftsdwarf's workshop]]. Caravans from other civilizations have been reported to trade pearl crafts and items decorated with pearls.

This article is about an older version of DF.

Pearls are mythological objects that don't actually exist in the game as of yet, though they are likely to feature in a future release. The creature definitions for the mussel and oyster indicate that they leave pearls with a [PEARL] tag, but the tag is unimplemented, they do not actually appear in the game, there is no accessible job for harvesting them, and pearls don't have a (probably necessary) material definition. However, orders to "decorate items with pearl" can still be issued from a Craftsdwarf's workshop, and these jobs can be performed if you create a material with the [PEARL] tag and add it to a creature's definitions so that it is yielded as a butchering return.

In the realm of organic materials that have yet to be implemented, pearls sit adjacent to amber and coral; all three have been present since initial release, but none have yet been established into the game.
