Thousands of years ago,
the first pearl was probably discovered while human beings were searching for
food at the sea shore. Throughout history the pearl with its shine has been one
of the most highly valued gems. Pearls have been mentioned many times in religious
texts and mythologies from the earliest times. The ancient Egyptians valued
pearls so much that they were buried with them. It is said that, the famous
queen of Egypt Cleopatra would dissolve a pearl in a glass and drink it as a
sign of love and respect for the entire nation. The Greeks thought the pearls
as a sign of wealth and social position. The beauty of pearls was associated
with love and marriage. In ancient Rome, pearls were considered the greatest
sign of wealth and social status. At that time the young women of noble
families loved to wear beautiful pearl necklaces. The brave knights used to
wear them in the battles for good luck.
