The pearl has always been the gem of modesty and purity and has been believed to have a power for the good: to bring succor in troubled times, to cement friendships and to strengthen weak hearts and memory. The pearl supposedly gives its wearers the courage to resist and overcome evil, eases irritability, wards off pestilence, increases the fruitfulness of oxen and cures blood disorders!
Pearls are also given on the 3rd, 12th and 30th anniversaries. I was born in June, and because my parents are so into birthstones, they bought me a pearl necklace as soon as I got out of the hospital.
