Freshwater Pear Necklace BC0191

Pearls are lustrous and hard organic gems formed within mollusks, mainly in shells, around an original core, which can be either a parasite or a grain of sand. These foreign particles are then coated with layers of calcium carbonate. Pearls are thought to ward off negativism and clarify emotions. In the Revelation of John, pearls adorn the gates of the New Jerusalem.
