Celebrate Your New Beginnings with Pearl Necklaces

With every other new day, we have a new beginning in our life, so to celebrate all your new beginnings, we have a special accessory for you known as a pearl necklace. But the question is, why have we chosen pearl necklaces only? The reason behind this is that a pearl is a gemstone that attracts wealth and luck, strengthens relationships, and signifies new beginnings. In general, pearls are organic gemstones that form inside mollusks, such as oysters, clams and mussels as a defense mechanism against irritants that enter their shells. It is believed that pearls were discovered before written history, so it’s difficult to pinpoint when or where they were first discovered.

The ancient Greeks believed that pearls were the tears of the gods. The oldest pearl jewelry was found in the sarcophagus; the piece is currently on display at the Louvre in Paris. Pearls were considered a status symbol in ancient Rome, and Julius Caesar passed a law in the 1st century BC that only the ruling classes could wear them. Pearls were a symbol of power and purity, and many royals wore pearl gemstone jewelry.

The 15th and 16th centuries saw the discovery of pearls and pearl oyster banks in Central and South America by Christopher Columbus and other Spaniards. This led to a period of great wealth for the Spanish crown and a “Pearl Age” for European royals and aristocrats. The first saltwater pearls began commercially in the 1900s in Asia. In the 1920s, natural pearls are completely replaced by cultured pearls in the market. Natural pearls are among the rarest gems today, and their scarcity is reflected in their high auction prices.
