The history of pearls being used as jewelry is far older than most people think. In China, the first pearl used as an offering for the emperor can be traced back to 2000 years ago. In those days pearls were considered the most valuable treasure, and royalty was keen on owning them. Royalty not only wore pearls as accessories, but also used a large amount of them to decorate their crowns, furniture and even their tomb. According to historical record, 20,000 pearls were found in Queen Dowager Cixi's tomb and one pearl on her crown was "as big as an egg"! The pearls in these older times were all natural. The royalty's extravagance and natural pearls' rarity resulted in pearl-hunting workers' having a difficult life. In old days, the only way to seek for pearls was to dive into the water. Many workers were injured or died while in the hunt for pearls. The difficulty in finding pearls made them more special than any other kinds of jewelry.

In Europe, during the middle ages, pearls became a fashion item among royalty and nobles. They believed that pearls symbolized purity, peace and beauty for women, and could protect male soldiers in wars. For emperors, pearls were the symbol of power and majesty. In some countries common people were even banned to wear pearls.

Because of humanity's excessive pearl-hunting, pearls eventually became very rare. In the 19th century the discovery of diamonds in Brazil helped cause pearls to slowly loose popularity. In modern times with the introduction and development of pearl cultivation, cultured pearl production became a new and fast growing industry. Including sea pearls and freshwater pearls, cultured pearls are so much easier to obtain than natural pearls. As a result pearls have gradually been gaining back their popularity again. The difference from the olden times is that pearls are not only for royalty any more, but affordable and accessible for all classes of people. Color, shape, size and the design of pearls are much more various and diverse than ever.
