Etymology
The word 'pearl' originated from the Old French 'perle' and the Latin 'perna' meaning 'leg', as the mollusk's body part that produces pearls was thought to resemble a leg. Pearls have been highly valued as gemstones for centuries and have been associated with purity, beauty, and wealth. They have been used in jewelry and adornments across various cultures and time periods, symbolizing luxury and elegance.
