Natural Pearls – A Symbol of Wisdom

The ethereal pearls are the only gemstones not formed by the earth. They result from a lengthy process that occurs within the shells of mollusks. When tiny foreign bodies like parasites or grains of sand enter the mollusk’s interior, it creates layers of nacre, similar to an onion, as a protective mechanism. The more layers that accumulate, the larger the pearl becomes at its core.

Pearls are believed to symbolize wisdom, loyalty, and tranquility. These lustrous gems have the richest folklore history among all gemstones. Every culture and nation has attributed different meanings and mystical powers to them.

Japanese Legends

According to an ancient Japanese legend, pearls are the petrified tears of mythical creatures such as nymphs, mermaids, and even angels.

Persian Myths

According to a Persian tale, pearls are the product of a powerful storm, after which a rainbow descended to earth to calm the people. As lightning struck, perfect shimmering pearls began to fall from the sky.

Ancient Egyptian Legend

Cleopatra herself was said to wear pearl earrings, one of which she crushed into powder and drank. With this ritual, she demonstrated to Mark Antony that the wealth of an entire nation could be consumed in a single gulp.

A Chinese legend states that pearls are born in the heads of dragons. The only way to acquire the gem is to slay a dragon.

In Christianity, when God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, the expelled couple shed bitter tears. White pearls fell from Eve’s eyes, while black pearls fell from Adam’s. This legend explains why black pearls are so rare—because men succumb to their emotions less frequently than women.

Pearls and Celebrities

One of the most characteristic features of pearls is their transformative ability to impart an unpretentious softness, elegance, and radiance to any woman who wears them.

Types of Pearls

Today, the market offers a variety of pearls, ranging from processed to natural in white, brown, pink, black, gold, or blue hues, depending on the water in which the mollusk lives.

Unlike the carat measurement used for gemstones, pearls are measured in grains, with one carat roughly equivalent to four pearl grains.

Pearls are classified as freshwater or saltwater, depending on the origin of the mollusk.

The largest deposits of pearls are found in the USA, Australia, Germany, Ireland, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka.
