We've been wearing pearls for centuries.
While traditionally a sign of wealth and nobility, dating as far back as Queen Elizabeth I in the 1500s, they've come back in a huge way to popular culture for their soft, luminescent and versatile nature.
The gem, produced within the soft tissue of a living mollusc, comes in a range of varieties, shapes and colours to suit just about any design, from earrings to necklaces, rings and more.
