My Favorite

My good friend Cici has bought a pearl pendant from Shecy. It looks very nice on her. The pearl is shining, and makes her noticeable. I desire to buy one too. I have heard that the pearls in this company was very cool !!! Shecy has various kinds of pearls from all over the world. For example, the South Sea pearl, the Akoya pearl ( I like this kind very much), keishi pearl ect. My friend’s pearl is said to from South Sea. But I like the Akoya . I have collected materials from Internet about Shecy.

If I have enough money, I will buy one directly from Shecy.

The picture above is my favorite!

Pearls In Art And Literature

The formation of pearls is a unique phenomenon of mother nature--not only for their origins, created by certain mollusks in the ocean and accessible only in deep-sea, but for their unusual, beautiful luster, their pale color, and their roundness. All of these have contributed to the enduring public fascination with pearls.

Pearls have been celebrated in Western art and literature since they were first brought from the East, many believe by Alexander the Great between 334 and 330 B.C. The Pearl examines the various myths associated with pearls, including the belief that they had medicinal or talismanic powers; the response of the Church to the wearing of pearls and the symbolism of pearls in Christianity; and the various literary references to them.

Myths and legends of pearls in China are always have something with the moon. The first pearl was born because of the moon; one of the four beauties in Chinese history, Xi Shi was born from a big beautiful pearl of the goddess of the moon, Chang Er.
