The tradition of wearing pearls dates back centuries to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans who valued pearls for their rarity and beauty. Pearls were often associated with wealth, royalty and purity, making them highly sort after. In many cultures, pearls were considered symbols of love, prosperity and wisdom. Overtime, pearl jewellery became popular among nobility and aristocrats, with elaborate pearl necklaces, earrings and bracelets becoming symbols. Today they remain a classic choice for jewellery lovers worldwide.
