My subject for this week's Folksy Friday is Precious Pearls.
Real pearls have been considered the most magical and feminine of all gems and are the only one created by a living organism. Ironically, they are actually parasites or objects such as grains of sand coated in layers of pearly substance inside a pearl oyster. This special coating gives the pearl its unique appearance and beauty.
Cultured and artificial glass pearls that are produced mainly for jewellery purposes are equally beautiful. Pearl as a June birthstone is associated with loyalty, faithfulness and friendship. Pearls have also come to symbolise a happy marriage and are very popular as wedding jewellery.
There are many, many gorgeous handmade items on Folksy but I have chosen more unusual items featuring pearls.
