Posted:  25 Jun 2008 07:58
Every gemstone has been allotted a particular month. June is the Month of pearl

Since ages these beautiful gems have served mankind as beauty-adding pieces in the form of pearl jewelry.  Their fame reached heights during the Roman times when women were garlanded with pearls, usually beaded together as pearl necklaces.

Pearls are the only live gems found on the surface of earth. They are hard rounded objects produced by oysters, when a natural microscopic substance or a grain of sand enters the oyster and settles on the shell and the oyster, irritated by the intruder, secretes the pearl substance called nacre to cover the irritant.

Naturally occurring pearls are 100% nacre so pearls from oyster alone are considered to be True Pearls.
