The story: The pearl owes its name to the Latin perla. Unlike other gems, it is not extracted from the earth but born in the heart of a mollusc, in the depths of seas and lagoons. Since ancient times, it has embodied purity, wisdom and femininity, and was particularly prized in Greek, Roman and Persian civilizations, where it symbolized wealth and power. Cleopatra herself is said to have dissolved a pearl in vinegar to prove to Mark Antony the immensity of her fortune. Over the centuries, pearls have adorned the adornments of the queens and aristocrats of Europe, becoming the emblem of elegance and refinement. Associated with the natives of the month of June, the pearl is appreciated for its soft and satin shine, called “orient”.
