No. The pearl is a product of causing them discomfort, therefore you are making them suffer. Leave the pearls to selfish twits who care nothing about the suffering of animals. At least with eating an animal some good comes from the suffering. The transfer of energy to sustain another life. With the pearl nothing but a bauble to decorate yourself with is the result of the suffering.
