Pearls are one of the most beautiful and at the same time unusual stones, which have long been attributed magical properties. This mineral was considered a sign of purity, a stone that improves health and protects a person. But, on the other hand, it was called the “stone of tears,” because it was believed that seeing it in a dream meant tears. But, be that as it may, pearls are an amazingly beautiful and exquisite stone that can and should be given as a gift.
Beautiful and exquisite stone
Pearls as a harbinger of tears
Natural mother of pearl from a shell is not considered a bad stone, but if you receive pearls as a gift, signs say that you can expect wet eyes.
Since ancient times, pearls have been considered tears shed by small creatures in suffering. Therefore, owning these stones for free promised many tears. This sign is firmly entrenched in the minds of ordinary people, and it is the first that comes to mind for those who are well aware of pearl superstitions. And, despite the fact that other folk signs about pearls can be very positive, it is better to refuse such a gift when in doubt. After all, omens come true if you believe in them.
For those who are far from prejudices or who like to live positively, it will be easy to remember that tears also come from joy. Therefore, it is enough to give or accept pearl jewelry as an amulet for happiness and love, and any negative signs will be bypassed. Moreover, such a gift has the happiest omens.
Signs
In the time of our ancestors, the appearance of this stone could not be explained from a scientific point of view. It was considered pieces of the moon that fell to the ground, frozen raindrops, or tears of goddesses. Due to their lack of education, people believed in the supernatural, endowing it with magical qualities. Some signs and beliefs have survived to this day:
- Giving a girl pearls means tears and disappointments in life, because the stone symbolizes the tears of goddesses.
- Some signs say that only pearls found or received as a gift will lead to tears in a dream, while those received in reality will lead to the successful completion of all affairs.
- Some peoples considered it a symbol of wealth, longevity and good luck. As the signs say, if the stone has darkened over time, you should visit a doctor. Pearls that changed color indicated that the owner of the stone was seriously ill. The legend of Ivan the Terrible is associated with this belief. There is information that the Tsar of All Rus' was very fond of pearls and did not believe in any superstitions associated with them. However, when one of the pearls that adorned his staff faded, the king was seriously afraid and ordered a virgin to be brought to him. The darkened pearl was strung on a thread and the girl was forced to bathe 101 times, after which the pebble returned to its original color and was placed back on the staff.
- The idea of embroidering outfits with pearls was borrowed from European women. Girls from rich families embroidered their wedding dresses with precious stones, but they bought the pearls with their own hands; accepting the stone as a gift meant an unhappy married life.
Pearl is a complex stone, as people say, “with character.” In order not to worry about her future fate, the woman who received such a gift should give a few coins for it, as if paying off possible troubles, and only then wear the jewelry without any doubts.
Good signs about pearls as a gift
It is considered very good form to give pearls to an unmarried girl - he will bring her according to signs:
- protection from dark temptations, preservation of a pure, young soul for many years;
- a meeting with my betrothed and a quick marriage out of great and pure love.
But we must remember that there is one obligatory condition that applies to all pearl gifts, not only those intended for unmarried beauties. You cannot give unpaired pearls. That is, the decoration must necessarily have an addition.
If it’s a necklace, then together with a bracelet or earrings; if it’s an accessory for a tie, then cufflinks are a must. A single piece of jewelry means that its owner will remain lonely for a long time. Therefore, a pearl gift should be combined in the form of a set so as not to harm a person’s family and personal life.
Otherwise, pearls are quite a strong talisman and amulet for happiness. It’s a great gift to give to businesswomen – this is the road to great success in business. It is very suitable as a talisman for managers - their organizational skills will greatly improve. For a long time, folk signs about pearls predicted an easy pregnancy and the birth of a strong, healthy baby if a pregnant woman carried pearls with her.
Finally, the presence of a decoration, accessory or amulet made of pearl beads is regarded very positively by magicians, since they are:
- a strong source of natural strength;
- a powerful component of meditations and rituals;
- An excellent assistant in supporting health, both physiological and psychological.
The pearl amulet is especially indicated for esotericists and people of the water elements, in particular Pisces.
Which zodiac sign would suit a light-colored pearl stone?
It is believed that there is a certain group of zodiac signs for whom astrologers recommend wearing pearls only in white or light gray tones . These include: • Gemini; • Sagittarius; • Ophiuchus.
Gemini: to find the right path in life
Pearls for Gemini act as a symbolic barrier against rash actions. This sign is distinguished by an active and fussy temperament, which, in pursuing its own interests, does not always think about profit. A decoration or amulet made of pearls helps Geminis to calm down their violent temper a little, set their priorities correctly and move through life exactly in the direction that is most profitable for them.
For women, the pearl will help in choosing a profession; it can also improve the health of its owner, especially in the female area. Since ancient times, it was believed that if a Gemini lady is unable to have offspring, then she should continuously wear pearl jewelry for three months in a row, and then everything will work out.
For Gemini, an amulet with pearls will help them find the right path in life, help with their career and family relationships.
Sagittarius: for health
Sagittarians are recommended to wear white pearls. Astrologers claim that it is precisely such a mother-of-pearl beauty that will send positive energy to her owner. Gray and black pearls will create unnecessary small obstacles in the path of Sagittarius, so it is better to avoid such jewelry.
the Sagittarius woman, white pearl plays the role of an excellent healer. It especially helps on those days when ladies are in an interesting phase of their cycle. A pearl can relieve pain a little, give you vigor, and help with your mood. Such jewelry helps stabilize blood pressure, improve digestive problems, and improve the functioning of the human heart and nervous system.
A Sagittarius man would also benefit from such a talisman. It will help improve the immune system, eliminate problems with the nervous system, and increase the body's resistance to various diseases and viruses. Light pearls will promote development in a creative direction, namely, they will attract people who have a lot of positive creative energy. A talisman with silver pearls will attract the attention of the opposite sex and help you find a good partner for the development of a family or at least long-term love relationship.
Ophiuchus: for wisdom
For Ophiuchus, pearls play the role of salt in dinner. Without it, this sign will not be what it really is. The nature of these people is such that against the backdrop of an icy, almost emotionless character, rarely does anyone notice a warm, loving heart. The pearl will help Ophiuchus not be afraid to open up to people around him, become a little more sociable, and devote more time to the world around him than to his inner one.
Ophiuchus women do not always have a soft character. They will be excellent mothers, wives and daughters, but only after they have gone through thick and thin and learned to appreciate what they have. Pearl jewelry will allow you to develop spiritual gentleness and a desire to compromise.
Pearls will make Sagittarius and Ophiuchus a little softer, more restrained, and more tolerant.
Ophiuchus men are strong and brave in nature. It seems like they have everything that should be in their character, but they lack banal determination. This is precisely the character trait that pearls can give a man. It is clear that they will not buy earrings or a necklace for the stronger sex in our country, but a leather men's bracelet decorated with several pearls will become an excellent amulet and friend for this comrade.
Bad omens for a gift with pearls
There are two sides to everything, so you should also study why pearls should not be given as gifts in some cases. First of all, a not very good belief concerns pearl gifts from strangers. It is not recommended to accept or give such gifts, even if the impulse is sincere.
The fact is that, according to popular belief, pearls primarily represent nepotism and innocence. And if a stranger gives a string of mother-of-pearl, it is as if he receives energetic access to his close family circle and soul. And not everyone likes this, and it is often quite dangerous.
Pearl jewelry should not be given as a gift for a birthday or first marriage anniversary. Although at a wedding a bride decorated with pearls is predicted to establish a happy family life for herself, using gifted mother-of-pearl for this is also not good. It's better to buy it in person.
In the old days, doubts about whether it was possible to give pearls to a woman or an older man had a good reason. The beautiful mineral began to quickly fade if the owner or mistress was soon to die. They claim that this is still happening. Not everyone will want to receive such a sign, even if they are very old.
On the other hand, aging pearls seem to suck the life out of the owner. And mother-of-pearl ages relatively quickly - after 50 years it can begin to deteriorate. So it is not recommended to give an old stone, even an expensive one, to young people.
A bad prognosis for those who saw shiny pearls in a dream, as a gift, or simply scattered. It always only leads to tears. And the more pearls there are, the more you will have to grieve.
Who do they give pearls to?
However, signs are just signs. Pearls are a surprisingly delicate and elegant stone, which is why they are considered a classic women's gift. A lover can give a thread with these beads for any romantic holiday. This gift cannot be called banal, since pearl jewelry is always appropriate and at any age. Delicate beads emphasize feminine softness, elegance, and attractiveness.
Traditionally, pearls are given as a gift on the third wedding anniversary , as this pure, exquisite stone symbolizes a pure, strong relationship. It’s not for nothing that thirty years of married life is called a pearl wedding: the stone symbolizes true, strong love. Traditionally, the husband presents his wife with a pearl necklace, each stone of which symbolizes past days and years, full of joy and sadness, but certainly love. A wife can give her husband cufflinks with a bead or a pin with one stone.

Zodiac signs for whom pearls are just decoration
Pearls do not have a particularly strong influence on representatives such as Taurus and Libra. Representatives of these beautiful signs can easily wear jewelry with mother-of-pearl, which will not bring anything bad to their life or character.
Pearls for Libra are considered a neutral stone, and all because this grain of sand has the greatest influence on the elements of Water and Earth, and Libra belongs to Air.
A slight influence of pearls can be seen on the fate of Taurus. For men , this is a little help in public events where you may have to give a long speech to the public.
For a Taurus woman, pearls act as a protector during pregnancy and the first two years of the life of her heirs. At this time, a woman is most vulnerable, both from a moral and material point of view. And if you want to protect your woman from problems and troubles, then give her a small piece of jewelry with a pearl.
Origin story
People have been familiar with the gift of the water element for more than four thousand years. Most likely, the first samples were caught by fishermen by accident. The pearls were discovered while harvesting edible shellfish. Among them, fishermen discovered organic formations. Then people found out that gemstones do not require additional processing. They immediately began to be used as cash equivalents for purchase and sale.
Initially, pearls came into fashion in European countries. From there they went to the Russian Empire. Rich nobles and court ladies began to wear pearl jewelry. Russian people called precious stones mother-of-pearl gems. The gift of the water element did not go out of fashion in the 20th century, and it is valued in the 21st century.
Harvesting pearl oysters today is almost the same as it was many centuries ago. Swimmers and divers, who have special knowledge and skills, are engaged in extracting valuable mollusks from the bottom. Moreover, the subtleties of a dangerous craft are passed on from father to son and protected from strangers. From the outside, the procedure for obtaining shells looks very simple. The diver, with a weight attached to his feet, sinks to the bottom of the reservoir, collects shellfish in a basket and emerges. But in order to get as many specimens with organic formations (and not empty ones) as possible, you need to have special knowledge.

One can imagine the delight and admiration of the first person who found a shiny stone in a mollusk shell. More than one millennium has passed since then; today both the extraction and artificial cultivation of pearls have been put on stream. But the feelings that pearls evoke in people have not changed - they are admired, valued more than gold, and mystical, healing properties are also attributed to them. Signs about pearls are also associated with them.
Zodiac signs that are not recommended to wear pearls
There are also several zodiac signs that astrologers do not recommend wearing pearls. These include: • Aries • Virgo • Leo.
What is wrong with these beautiful representatives of the zodiac circle.
Pearls for an Aries woman are actually a talisman for bad luck . Of course, this does not mean that you will simply walk along the road and fall and break your leg. This means that mother of pearl will bring you minor troubles: spilled salt, a broken cup and similar little things.
The same can be said about the king of beasts: pearls are also not the best helper for Leo The reason for this is very simple - energetically the lion cub is not suitable for mother of pearl, since it is favored by the element of fire, and the pearl loves water. It will pull a lot of energy out of its owner and put him in a bad mood. You can also expect that minor troubles will appear at work, relationships with loved ones will go wrong, and the Lion Cub himself will begin to have trouble getting enough sleep.
Pearls for Virgos have a double meaning. On the one hand, it is a good assistant in career growth, where Virgo will begin to achieve greater and greater heights, and on the other hand, mother-of-pearl cannot be worn constantly, as it will have a bad effect on the already difficult nature of this sign.
Virgos can only wear pearls at work. And even then not all the time.
Luxurious pearls have strong energy. He perfectly helps strong people who strive for financial independence, high victories, and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal. Lazy, always dissatisfied, heavy and pessimistic people are not recommended to wear pearls, as it will unbalance their physical strength and undermine their psychological health. Also, wearing pearls is not recommended for people who are weak of spirit, insecure, or passive, since the mother-of-pearl mineral can suppress their will. From this we can draw only one conclusion: if your plans include conquering the heights of this world, then take pearls with you as a friend, they will definitely help you. However, if you decide to lie down on the couch and have a day off, then you should leave the pearlescent beauty in the box and let it rest.

Wedding in the style of pearls – what is typical and how to organize it?
Themed weddings have become the norm these days. Fewer and fewer couples are limiting themselves to simple traditional holidays without pretense of originality with classic outfits, programs, menus and musical accompaniment. Modern youth clearly understand that a wedding is an important day that will never be repeated and they consider it their direct responsibility to make it special.
What kind of weddings do young people come up with! These are celebrations in the style of “The Great Gatsby”, “Vintage”, “Eco”, “Alice in Wonderland”, etc. Among the abundance of ideas, the wedding format in the style of pearls seems to be the most tender, touching and elegant.
What does the decision to celebrate a wedding in such an unusual style entail? Firstly, the dress code. Pearls should be present in the images of the main heroes of the occasion and, if possible, other guests.
And, if it is not at all difficult for pearls to find a place in the bride’s image, then the groom will only need a pearl boutonniere, tie clip or cufflinks. Guests should present miniature accessories at the entrance to the wedding hall. Girls - ribbons with pearls on their wrists, guys - boutonnieres. Will these be genuine or artificial mother-of-pearl spheres? Depends on the generosity of the young people, the budget and the scope of the holiday.
In addition to the appearance of those present, at a wedding in the style of pearls you need to adhere to the rules of decor. Beautiful iridescent peas should decorate pieces of furniture, dishes, and room decor elements. The main decoration of the table can be the glasses of the newlyweds; they are decorated with pearls from the heart, as the main symbols of the wedding, claiming to be a family heirloom.
Adhering to the concept of the holiday, it is worth adding elements of a pearl theme to the menu. Sweets with edible mother-of-pearl pearls will look very original. These can be cupcakes of different shapes and sizes and even a whole multi-tiered pearl cake.
