Press play, sit back and travel to the world of natural pearls!
Fortunately, pearls are no longer only for the rich and famous. Can you imagine living in times when only kings, queens and czars could afford to wear pearls?.
Or can you imagine living when there were laws that commoners could NOT wear pearls? That means if your husband found an enormous perfect pearl while fishing one day...you could not wear it...at least in public.
Queen Elizabeth I LOVED pearls...she understood their power, no doubt. Watch this video to find out how many pearl bedecked gowns she owned and how many pearl encrusted wigs.
At the bottom of this page you can read (in old English) about a ship from America that sunk, which carried a natural pearl necklace to be presented to Queen Elizabeth I. I'll bet she cried when she got the news.
