Pearls are organic gems that grow inside of a living saltwater or freshwater oyster or other shelled mollusk. Ancients from the Middle East believed that pearls were teardrops fallen from heaven. The Chinese thought that they came from the brain of a dragon. Pearls have long been associated with purity, innocence, wisdom, and integrity.
