"Pearl, Alexandrite, & Moonstone" |

|
"Pearl"
|
|
|
|
One of June's birthstones is the pearl. The pearls is also the gemstone for the 3rd and 30th wedding anniversaries. |
|
|
| The pearl is a unique gem that's organic in origin. The pearl is the only gem that comes from living sea creatures such as oysters and clams. There are two kinds of pearls, natural and cultured. A natural pearl is formed when a small irritant, like a piece of sand, gets trapped inside the mollusk's soft tissue. This causes the animal to secret nacre, a substance known as "mother of pearl", which builds up, layer by layer, to produce a smooth, hardened pearl. Cultured pearls are made when an irritant is purposely introduced to the mollusk to facilitate pearl production. Cultured pearls are more widely used in jewelry today than the natural pearl. Pearls require no faceting or polishing to reveal their natural beauty. |
|
| Pearls can be found all over the world including Mexico, Indonesia, Bavaria, the United States, Japan and Sri Lanka |
|
| Legends and Myths: |
|
In ancient times, the Persians, Hindus and Romans wore this gem to display their wealth and status. Roman women wore pearls while they slept to remind them how rich they were. In India, the people believed that pearls were dewdrops from heaven that fell into the ocean and were caught by the ocean's shellfish during the first rays of the rising sun. Soldiers and warriors placed pearls on their swords to symbolize the tears and sorrow that the weapon brings. |
