The history of using pearls in jewelry and fashion spans centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations. Pearls have always been admired for their natural beauty and rarity, symbolizing purity and wealth. In ancient Rome, pearls were considered the ultimate status symbol, and wealthy individuals wore elaborate pearl jewelry. Coco Chanel played a pivotal role in popularizing pearls in the early 20th century, incorporating them into her designs and revolutionizing fashion by promoting a more sophisticated elegance. Since then, pearls have remained a timeless and versatile accessory, blending tradition with contemporary style in the jewelry and fashion industry.
