Pearl Jewelry Through Out History
Pearl jewelry has been given as gifts for thousands of years. In years past, pearl jewelry was a symbol of wealth and status. One can trace it back to at least 2300 BC in China where pearls were prized by royalty. The Ancient Romans and Greeks wore pearls as a symbol of wealth and prestige. The Ancient Greeks felt that pearls brought love. Many people don’t realize that Native Americans also prized the freshwater pearls they harvested for lakes and rivers.

Pearl rings have also been given as engagement rings for thousands of years. They can also be given as promise rings. And elegant more mature women have always prized classic pearl jewelry. In other words, pearl jewelry is appropriate for ladies of all ages.
