Pearls can do many things for you that clams cannot:

• Want to create and sell your own face parts? Buy a face factory voucher with pearls and take the first step to starting your own business on Whyville. If you buy pearls now, you can take advantage of our Face Factory Voucher sale. Vouchers are 50 pearls, for a limited time!
• Many stores on Whyville accept pearls as well as clams. Akbar's Face Mall, the Projectile Shoppe, the Brick Emporium, and the Furniture Farm all accept pearls.
• You can now buy and care for your own pet (or pets!) on Whyville. Learn more about WhyPets.
• Visit Chat Candy to customize your chat bubble and stand out from the crowd!
• Want a celebrity theme to your visit? Take a look in our custom skins page.
• Want cool animated parts? Check out our new Pearls Boutiques.

• Your Address book can hold twice as many friends.
• You can buy animated face parts.
• You can wear twice as many face parts on your avatar.
• You get exclusive on-the-grass seating at the Greek Theater (when available.)
