In this Wednesday, April 4, 2012 photo, Mohamed al-Suwaidi from RAK Pearls Holding holds a cultured pearl inside an oyster shell after they have collected it from the sea farm in Ras al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.

Their way of life, however, also was changed forever after Japanese researchers learned how to grow cultured pearls in 1930s. Now a collaboration between pearl traders in Japan and the United Arab Emirates had brought oyster farming to the UAE for the first time. (AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili)
