Pearl Jewellery
Pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries, and the word 'pearl' has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, and admirable. They have been considered the most magical and feminine of all gems and are the only one created by a living organism. Pearls emanate a certain warmth and glow not found in other gems, due to their unique beginnings. Before the creation of cultured pearls in the early 1900s, natural pearls were so rare and expensive that they were reserved almost exclusively for the noble and very rich. |
