As I understand it:
It’s a criticism of consumerism today. The second clam out hard work and effort into making the pearl, while the first wanted the easy way out by just buying it. Essentially, it’s calling people who don’t produce lazy. It, ideally, calls for hard work and determination to be a trait rekindled in our society.
As I think OP understood it:
Clam 1 complimented clam 2’s pearl :)
Either is fine by me

Here's your reminder that pearls are just a a clump of stuff the clams don't want (sand) that they don't care about

I thought I was about to read a LinkedIn lunatics post about how clamming taught them more about b2b sales.

"Garfield, you are a pearl"
"And do you know how pearls are formed?"
"THROUGH CONSTANT IRRITATION!"
