Pearl

“searching the wave I won therefrom a pearl Moonlike and glorious, such as Kings might buy Emptying their treasury.” —Matthew Arnold,Poet

The pearl, we are told, is a thing of beauty and a “joy forever”. And so, pearl has been cherished both by men and by women for many thousands of years.Pearl lacks hardness, but more than makes up for it with its exquisite beauty. Diamond has been known for centuries as King of gems, because of its adamantine quality and almost invincible structure; for its beauty, pearl is rightly considered queen.
