During the Dark Ages, While fair maidens of nobility cherished delicate pearl necklaces, gallant knights often wore pearls onto the battlefield. They believed that the magic possessed by the lustrous gems would protect them from harm.

An Old Arabic Legend romantically explains that the pearls formed when moonlight filled dew drops descended down from the sky into oceans and were swallowed by oysters.

To the Ancient Persians, pearls symbolized moon and its magical powers. The fragment of oldest known pearl jewelry now displayed at the Museum of Louvre in Paris, was found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess who died 520 BC
