My birthstone is both the pearl and the alexandrite. For this particular post, I am celebrating the pearls that have been used in these handmade pieces of jewelry. The artists used natural pearls to create amazing pieces of heirloom quality jewelry. Pearls are both contemporary and traditional. The use of pearls in jewelry promotes wisdom and mystical properties.
Pearls are said to provide the wearer with power, money, luck and protection. They solidify love and engagement. The Chinese believed that when dragons fought, pearls simply fell from heaven. Tears from the gods.
I don’t know about the dragon tears thing, but they are lovely anyway. In all their loveliness, it is still the irritation of the oyster that delivers these beautiful offerings into our hands.
Here are some of the lovely pearl jewelry from the JCUIN guild on Artfire.
