As products of a living animal, pearls are unique amongst gems. For centuries they have been treasured by civilisations and cultures across the globe. Greek mythology saw pearls as tears of joy shed by the Goddess Aphrodite. Ancient Egyptians associated them with Isis ; the goddess of healing and life, whilst an ancient Arab legend tells us that pearls were formed when dewdrops filled with moonlight fell into the ocean and were swallowed by oysters.
