Pearls have been treasured and valued ever since they were discovered thousands of years ago. Before they were cultured, only royalty was allowed to wear pearls. In fact, during the Renaissance, pearls had such high social standing that several European countries passed laws forbidding anyone outside the nobility from wearing them. Even today they remain a timeless classic and a favourite accessory among the rich and famous.
Although pearls are considered to be fashion jewellery, they have an elegance and charm that is unique, simple and spectacular which makes them a perfect choice for all kinds of occasions – whether a festival celebration, a wild party, a formal boardroom meeting or even a once-in-a-lifetime occasion like a wedding.

Pearls and Weddings Have an Ancient History
Pearls have long been associated with weddings.
- Ancient Greeks believed that wearing pearls strengthened relationships, promoted marital harmony and prevented the brides from crying. They also considered them to be the symbol of love and purity.
- In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, pearls were considered to be the ultimate in wedding fashion, so much so, the royal weddings in the French House of Burgundy used to be conducted in a “sea of pearls”. Everyone – from the bride to her male guests – was adorned in glowing pearls.
- The British royalty has a tradition of wearing pearls on the wedding day which continues to this day.
- The Hindu legend has it that Lord Krishna plucked the first pearl from the depths of the ocean and gave it to his daughter Pandaria on her wedding day as a symbol of love, union, and purity.
Jewellery Has Been an Integral Part of the Wedding Attire
From ancient times, Indian bridal jewellery has emphasized ornate and heavy adornments. Intricately carved designs were etched in materials ranging from ivory to copper before gold and silver became the base metals. This tradition of wearing elaborate jewellery studded with precious and semi-precious stones continues to this day.
Even as weddings are about customs and rituals, it’s also about looking your sparkling best and being in your finest attire. So shouldn’t your jewellery also complement the rest of the accessories?
Whatever your bridal style you want to achieve – sophisticated, dignified, rich, regal or classic traditional – pearls can uplift your style and help you look your gorgeous best on your big day.
