Pearl Pendant and Drop Earrings
It's true that pearls have evolved into "all things to all men" over time. These beautiful stones have been used as symbols of purity, fertility, power, and authority across a wide range of cultures. Pearls, according to Japanese mythology, were formed from the tears of nymphs, angels, and mermaids. Who hasn't heard the tale of the Chinese dragon who wore a pearl under his chin? Nor has anyone in Japan or India. Black pearls were associated with knowledge and were said to be cultivated within the head of a dragon in traditional Chinese culture. These jewels were worth killing a dragon for.
