The rarity and allure of the pearl made it a coveted possession among queens, sultans and the merely wealthy. As humankind’s original and most beguiling gem, the pearl inspired royal passion and launched countless expeditions of trade and conquest. The romans were so inflamed by lust for pearls that they drained their national treasury to buy the glistening beads.
During the renaissance, European aristocrats hungered so for the gem that historians have called the era the Pearl Age.
