Pearl Lore

Peals are always in fashion! Sophisticated and timeless, they say Pearls help one to see themselves more clearly and improve self-worth... and giving them as a gift helps the wearer see the love of the giver. Pearls were also once thought to be the tears of God and referred to as the gem of the Queen.

Pearls represent modesty, chastity & purity, success, happiness and is often referred to as the symbol of love, which make them popular wedding gifts.

Pearls are formed in shellfish in reaction to an irritant, such as a grain of sand. The shellfish's natural reaction is to produce layers and layers of nacre around the irritant, forming a pearl. Pearls come in a variety of hues and intensities, with their variance depending on the type of shellfish and qualities of the water.
