Pearl Bracelet, A Girl's Best Friend

Not only a woman can dress up with pearl bracelets, so can new born babies. Baby pearl bracelets are so sweet; I gave one to a lady for her new baby girl. When she brought this sweet child home for the first time, she dressed her in a little dress with the accessory of a tiny freshwater white pearl bracelet.

I was told once of a man who sold all he had to go buy this pearl of great price. It had been bury in a field for some reason, and the gentleman sold his car and a few gold chains just to purchase this small lot of land where the pearl was hidden. It was said that as he acquired the land he spent the next few days digging for the pearl, and found it, so exquisite it took he breath away. Guess what he did with it? Yes, that's right. He made his wife a single pearl bracelet.

The story behind the pearls as they are made is very fascinating, let me tell some of what I have learned. A pearl start its life a s grain of sand, this little sand finds itself in-between the flesh of an oyster and rub the flesh raw, so the oyster secretes and coats the tissue from the sand with nacre which makes the pearly substance, this is the saltwater pearls. The freshwater pearls are injected with tissue to start this process, the oyster/muscle needs a balance of freshwater and food for feeding, the best place is a river pool that has water flowing to it and out of it.
