A symbol of purity and innocence, pearls have been considered the ideal wedding gift. Many a bride has walked down the aisle with her neckline and earlobes decorated with pearls. Hindu brides are especially like to wear pearls. In their religion, the marriage ceremony includes the presentation of an non perforated pearl and its piercing.
The Greeks in particular believe in the love power of pearls. According to Greek lore, brides who wore pearls would enjoy a blissful marriage and their newlywed days would be free from tears of despair.

The porous nature of pearls demands extra care. To maintain their luster: 1) avoid exposure to household chemicals like hair spray, perfume and cleaning products; 2) wipe them gently with a warm damp cloth to remove body oils and perspiration; 3) when storing, keep them separate from other gemstones and metals that may scratch them.
925 silver should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your 925 silver shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your 925 silver to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
