Immediate Construction?

I've forged the clam of pearls. But if I give it to a caster in my first province, does that caster acquire the extra astral gem/month, or does it go into a sort of province gem bank? And if I don't give it to anybody to wear, but put it in my forged item reserves, do I still get the astral gem/month?

Someone has to have the item, and the wearer will get the pearl to his personal gem box. This can be used to supply Astral mages with neverending supply of gems for spells such as Antimagic or Light of the Northern Star; some players also try to forge the clams as cheaply as possible (with at least Dwarven Hammers for 25% reduction in cost), hoping to stay in game for long enough for the clams to pay off eventually.
