Several millennia ago, legend has
it, a great Hindu God dove into the
sea to acquire a single, exquisite
pearl as a gift for his daughter on
her wedding day. Today, that
legend has been absorbed by many
cultures around the world and has
become a tradition that is
generations old.
The pearl, a symbol of love and
purity, is perfectly fitting for the
bride. Its lovely and magical
appearance has captured the hearts
of brides for centuries. Neither
gaudy nor flashy, the pearl
possesses an ethereal and demure
personality that reflects the warm
glow of a bride on her wedding
day.
Once, due to their scarcity,
natural pearls were reserved for
only the very wealthy. But about 80
years ago, man discovered the
secret of how to coax oysters into
producing enough pearls to put
them within the reach of all. Such a
pearl is now termed "cultured," and
although it is helped into maturity
by man, it is still considered as fine
a gem and a very close cousin to
the natural pearl.
Just as nothing should be faked
on the wedding day, the jewellery
to be worn should be as real as the
emotions felt on this memorable
occasion. Imitation pearls that are
almost entirely made of synthetic
and sometimes organic chemicals
have an intrinsic value and no place
in the wedding party. Unlike
imitations, cultured pearls can be
worn with pride long after the 50th
anniversary for they will always
remind a woman of that very
special day in her life.
To make sure that the bride has
the right cultured pearls to suit her,
there are several factors to
remember:
When selecting cultured pearls,
choose the best quality you can
afford. Look for pearls that have a
bright, clear lustre and a deep inner
glow. Try to select pearls that are
