DID YOU KNOW

Unlike other gemstones that are mined from the Earth, pearls are formed within living organisms – primarily mollusks. When an irritant, such as a grain of sand, enters the shell of an oyster or mollusk, the creature secretes layers of nacre around the intruder as a defence mechanism. Over time, these layers build up, creating the iridescent and smooth surface we recognize as a pearl.

PEARL: A BRIEF HISTORY

Pearls hold a rich history that spans cultures and civilizations. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans revered pearls as symbols of purity and wealth. Cleopatra is said to have dissolved a pearl in vinegar and consumed it to showcase her wealth and power. In Asia, pearls were believed to possess mystical properties and were associated with wisdom and prosperity. It is evident why pearl jewellery has therefore been one of the most popular gemstones used in jewellery for centuries!

MEANING BEHIND THE STONE

In many Asian cultures, pearls are associated with wisdom and believed to bring clarity and focus to the mind. The formation process of pearls, layer upon layer, is often likened to the accumulation of knowledge and experience. Some cultures also believe that pearls have protective qualities, shielding the wearer from negative energy and harm. Pearls are therefore often seen as a symbol of security and well-being. In ancient Greek mythology, pearls were believed to be the tears of joy shed by the goddess Aphrodite. This association ties pearls to happiness and positive emotions with the wearer of pearl jewellery being able to enjoy these special attributes.
