5 must-have pearl jewelry! (+What are pearls?)

Pearls are the ultimate all time classic piece of jewelry. Women and men all over the world love it and it is a common gift choice. But what exactly are pearls and where do they come from? Why are they so valuable and what makes women love them so much?

Since ancient times, pearls had marked the lives of many historical figures... Once Cleopatra, in a sign of personal superiority, ostentatiously swallowed it in front of the eyes of the court, while many years later Queen Elizabeth established it as the... envelope of her virginity!

For centuries pearls have been used for medicinal purposes… The Chinese took pearl “pills” to become immortal, while other Asian cultures used pearls as a cure for fever, indigestion, bleeding and more.

In ancient Greece, the pearl was dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite, since according to legend, Aphrodite emerged from the water through a shell, like the pearl. Homer, on the other hand, refers to the pearls saying: "The precious stones, which shone like three bright drops, hung from her ears."

Their impressive presence over the years, they bring us one of the longest trends in jewelry after gold and silver!
