Pearls are gemstones 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 [PEARL], but the tag is unimplemented, they do not actually appear in the game, and there is no accessible job for harvesting them. However, orders to "decorate items with pearl" can still be issued from a craftsdwarf's workshop, and these jobs can be performed by modifying the game to implement the pearl material template or definition token to be included as a property of an applicable decorative item.

Pearl is one of the three unimplemented organic materials in the game, the others being amber and coral; all three have been defined materials since initial release, but have yet to be included as a property of any obtainable item. Dwarves can still have preferences for these materials; more annoyingly, nobles can still issue demands involving these materials.

Pearl from Pinctada maxima.

If a material is modded into the game with [PEARL], artifact gates made out of the material will sometimes generate in vaults.
