The story: Both symbols of purity and perfection, pearls have survived through the ages, fascinating all civilizations. According to Greek mythology, they are nicknamed the “tears of Aphrodite”, born from the drops of seawater that fell from the goddess of love when she came out of the ocean. Pearls are also the birthstone of the month of June, providing timeless beauty to those who wear them. Beyond their brilliance, the pearl is characterized by its “orient”, an iridescent and delicate shimmer that seems to float on the surface of the gem, the result of the reflection of light through the thin layers of mother-of-pearl.
