Mabe pearls are half-sided pearls, also known as Mabe beads, steamed bun beads, semicircular beads, and Mabe beads. The word "Mabe" comes from Japan. Before the artificial seedling technology successfully cultivated mother oysters, the number of mother oysters surviving in Mabe beads was minimal. Because of its rare beauty and rarity, some people call it the "Dream Pearl." Mabe pearls are in short supply, so TASAKI has established an exclusive pearl breeding base and devotes itself to the research of pearl breeding day and night. In 1970, TASAKI successfully cultivated mabe pearls for the first time in the world, and mabe pearls became Japan's new symbol of beauty.

The composition of mabe pearls is the same as that of ordinary seawater pearls, but the formation process is different. Mabe pearls are essentially regenerated pearls. Generally, after collecting cultured pearls, a semicircular pearl core is directly inserted into the inside of the mabe shell. The semicircular pearl core is attached to the mother-of-pearl oyster. On the inner wall, the nacre wraps the outer bead core layer by layer to form a semicircle.
