What Do Pearls Symbolize?

Pearls are gemstones formed underwater. The rarest and most natural pearls are formed in marine waters, and these are also very expensive. The ones formed in freshwater bodies, such as rivers, lakes, ponds, etc., are called freshwater pearls. 

Pearls have stood the test of time and have proven to become a classic, iconic gemstone. They are known to be the birthstones of those born in the month of June under the sun sign Gemini. These jewels symbolize beauty, innocence, humility, new beginnings, prosperity, peace, and calm. 

Pearls are gemstones that are formed under the water. They are formed when a little irritant particle enters a mollusk and settles there. The calcium carbonate then oozes out in the form of a nacre. These layers are formed over the years, and this is what makes a single pearl gemstone. 

This is a natural process that mostly occurs in ocean water. However, these types of pearls are so rare that they are very expensive. They are now usually found with collectors or at auctions.

Then come to the pearls formed in freshwater bodies. These are the ones that largely dominate the pearl market. China is the largest producer of these. 

Due to the great demand for freshwater pearls, they are now cultured at large scales. The process is very similar to the natural one, except that the irritant is surgically implanted inside the mollusk by the pearl farmers. 

Pearls can be cultured in freshwater as well as marine water. However, the former is more prevalent. The latter is way more expensive as compared to the freshwater variants.  

The meaning of "pearl" can range from worldly to sublime. In the Asian subcontinent as well as the far east, especially in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions, the flaming pearl symbolizes inner wisdom that is said to enhance our inner connection to the divine world. 

In the West, pearls are found to be status symbols as well as symbols of wealth and prosperity in ancient Rome, where they were said to bring longevity to the owners of these gemstones. Some knights even kept these pearls with them during the Crusades as protective amulets. 

In recent times, pearls have been connected to introspection, helping us discover the purpose of our lives. 

In olden times, it was also said that pearls were actually the result of the tears of angels and mermaids. 

Pearl fundamentally symbolizes inner wisdom. It is also related to purity, serenity, peace, calm, integrity, innocence, loyalty, and humility. 

Pearls are usually white in color, and this is the most common. However, in recent times, with pearl farming in the picture, there have been various colors that have become available in these precious gemstones.
