Get The Skinny on Pearl
Sit in on my conversation with Original Eve as we talk all about pearls!
Our ancient ancestors discovered this delicate, luminous “Queen of Gems” while seeking food from the sea - and pearls have been a global sensation ever since.
It is believed that pearls were gifted among Chinese royalty as early as 2300 BC. The black pearl in particular symbolized wisdom. The earliest archeological evidence of pearl jewelry is a necklace found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess dating to 420 BC. According to Persian myth, pearls are created after a storm, when a rainbow meets the earth. Beyond the legend of Cleopatra “drinking” her most priceless pearl, these treasures adorned jewelry, gowns and even furniture of high-status citizens throughout the ancient Greek and Roman world. Brides in ancient Greece wore pearls, believing they would ensure marital bliss and prevent them from crying.
To multiple cultures, religions and throughout time, pearls have been synonymous with purity and perfection.
