coral and cultured pearl necklace - Elegant Jewelry Piece

coral and cultured pearl necklace coral and cultured pearl necklace - Elegant Jewelry Piece The origin of the word coral is traced to Greek "korllion" and Latin "coralium" probably both derived from the early Hebrew "goral" meaning "small pebble". Appearing as solitary forms in the fossil record more than 400 million years ago, corals are extremely ancient animals that evolved into modern reef-building forms over the last 25 million years.

Pearls were presented as gifts to Chinese royalty as early as 2300 BC, while in ancient Rome, pearl jewelry was considered the ultimate status symbol. So precious were the spherical gems that in the 1st century BC, Julius Caesar passed a law limiting the wearing of pearls only to the ruling classes.

This will help prevent any buildup of oils or other substances that may have come in contact with your jewelry throughout the day. NEVER clean pearls with a steam or ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Both of these methods are likely to damage the outer layer of the pearl.
