Most of us wear jewelry because we like the way it looks. A woman can choose a silver necklace with natural stones; another may prefer stacking the gold chains. Someone else might appreciate the hidden sparkle of an earring, not because it’s not sleek and confident, but because their favorite aesthetic is understated. Yet other women stack their bangles because they love the musical sound they make when they move. Me, I am a pearl.

Adorning oneself is a custom that crosses cultures and history. As early as the Neanderthals, scientists knew that they walked the earth carrying animal bones and shells. Ancient civilizations wore precious metals, minerals and stones as a visible display of wealth, status and authority.
