Pearl

What is the spiritual meaning of pearls?

Wisdom from time and experience: a pearl takes years to form. It comes from the constant effort and time an oyster puts into changing something painful into a beautiful and bearable outcome.

Wisdom comes from time and effort invested in learning from mistakes and turning them into something positive. Pearls teach us to use unavoidable pain to gain insight and create beauty.

A symbol of wealth and good luck: These shining white gems have always been rare, and in the past, divers braved the waves in search of oysters harboring the coveted pearls. Divers could search for years without success. Hence, finding a pearl was good luck.

Pearls were once so rare that only royalty wore them. Some royalty wore fake pearls because not even they could command enough of the gems to adorn their jewelry and crowns. Therefore, wearing pearls was a sign of wealth and social status.
