Bridal Collection
Pearls have been used for personal ornament for thousands of years. They were probably one of the earliest gems found by prehistoric man, being naturally-perfect objects which required no additional craftsmanship as the faceting of gemstones did not exist until the Fifteenth century. It is believed that pearls were first found along the coastline of India. One of the earliest myths explains that pearls were formed when oysters opened their shells, rose to the water's surface and were seeded by the early morning's drops of dew and the first rays of sparkling sunlight. The pearl's unique qualities of luster and iridescence were noted by Homer in the Odyssey: "Earrings bright with triple drops that cast a trembling light." They are mentioned in ancient Hindu epics, in the Nh'ya Chinese dictionary from 1,000 B.C., in Marco Polo's accounts about the king of China, and in Pliny's 1st century, A.D. Historia naturalis. Pliny wrote: "The richest merchandise of all, and the most soveraigne commoditie throughout the whole world, are these pearles." Pearls come finely-finished directly from nature. Because of their natural beauty, they are associated with the matrix of life and some say that the pearl helps balance one's bodily rhythms and hormonal levels with lunar cycles, harmonizing with the rhythms of the natural world. Having what appears to be an inward glow, some claim that pearls can be used to help tap inner wisdom and to nurture the growth of love. |
