Beautiful Pearls Forever

Did you know that "pearl" is the official birthstone for month of June?  This fact came about through the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912.  It is also the birthstone for the Sun Signs of Gemini and Cancer.  Freshwater pearls are given the first wedding anniversary, according to tradition.  Pearls are also given on most third, twelfth, and thirty year anniversaries.  Pearls are excellent gifts for the true lover!

In fact, it has been said that freshwater pearls offer the power of love to those who wear them.  They also provide money, protection, and good luck!  This is not a bad deal for the purchase of a fine pearl necklace which will beautify your life for many years to come.  Furthermore, freshwater pearls are thought to give wisdom through experience.  This is according to the laws of karma.  They also cement engagements and love relationships.  Pearls have been credited with keeping children safe from harm as well.

In ancient folklore, early Chinese myths told of pearls falling from the sky when great dragons fought each other.  The legends say that pearls were thought to be the tears of the gods.  Ancient Greeks believed that wearing pearls would promote marital bliss and even prevent newlywed women from crying.  In short, a pearl necklace is an elegant present to give or receive for all these reasons.  Pearls are some of the most special and beloved gifts of all time!
