Introduction to Pearl Earrings

Known as the tears of the gods back in ancient Greece, pearls have been cherished for centuries. A symbol of purity and elegance, pearls are not mined from the earth like other gemstones. What makes them so unique is the fact that they are formed organically inside oysters, where a small irritant is covered with nacre, resulting in a stunning gem that has captivated humans throughout history and continues to be a staple in every jewelry collection. Their appeal is more than just a fashion trend, and their versatility makes them suitable for any occasion, whether formal or casual.
The pearl is the birthstone of June and legend has it that pearls represent purity, serenity and wisdom. They have long been associated with the moon and water, which makes them all the more mystical. If you’re born in June, wearing pearl earrings is known to bring good fortune and protection.
