Pearl is the result of an accident; it is a beautiful creation from God. Its birth begins as an intruder who enters inside a shelled mollusk. Then a liquid nacre is created around the intruder as a defense mechanism against the irritant, and then a pearl is formed with concentric layers of nacre, which is the same basic material as the inside layer of certain shells.
Pearl is a word of magical importance for many people, being a symbol of beauty and purity. It has given rise to legends of mystical birth from the seas. Ancients called pearls “angel’s tears’, or ‘drops of rain fell from heaven’. In Roman mythology Venus the goddess of beauty, love, pleasure and recreation was born in a sea shell, water dropped from her body and became pearls.
