Many years ago, I have come across a saying that pearls and brides are synonyms. And I was astonished how true it was. Nothing looks better than a beautiful happy bride wearing white pearl jewelry! That is why we have created our Wedding Pearl Jewelry collection. It features wedding pearl necklaces, earrings, bracelets…
For centuries, brides wear pearl jewelry on the wedding day. Actually, white color has always been associated with innocence and purity. In addition, people consider white pearls to be a symbol of modesty and chastity. Moreover, we associate pearls with love, success and happiness. And, finally, pearls may be seen as a metaphor for life itself.
Indeed, pearls are one of the most ancient gemstones known. As well, they were one of the most valuable jewelry. The so-called sumptuary laws existing in the Middle Ages in Europe strictly specified who was allowed to wear pearl jewelry. Of course, only the royalty and high nobility could enjoy it.
History of wedding pearl jewelry
In ancient India, the Vedas, the sacred texts, mentioned pearls almost 3,000 years ago. They associated pearls with longevity, prosperity, and life preservation. Do you know a Hindu story about Krishna and pearls? Krishna, a major deity in Hinduism, brought the pearls from the depth of the ocean. And he gave the pearls to his daughter on her wedding day. This demonstrates the value and significance of pearls in those days.
This Hindu story is likely to be the earliest citation of pearls and marriage. So, since old days, pearls were adorning brides on their great day. And pretty often people call pearls a “wedding gem”. Thus, they emphasize pearls importance for the wedding attire.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, pearls and love became inseparable. Some people believed that the gem would even bring love. Pearl jewelry was abundantly worn as a wedding jewelry at the royal weddings.
As we can see, there is a wonderful long-standing tradition of wearing pearls as wedding jewelry. And here you may express your unique style. By the way, you may combine various pieces of pearl jewelry!
Moreover, we may mention another advantage of wedding pearl jewelry. You will wear it after your great day! Pearl jewelry is something that we wear every day, not only for a wedding or another big event.
