The story: In the West, the pearl is associated with the birth of the goddess of love: Venus. This explains why it is called “Aphrodite’s tears”. A symbol of perfect and pure beauty, love, innocence and gratitude, pearls are also associated with the natives of the month of June and 30 years of marriage. Their unique brilliance, called “orient”, is the result of a play of light on the thin layers of mother-of-pearl that compose them, giving each pearl a mysterious and iridescent aura
