Pearls symbolize wisdom acquired through experience. They are believed to attract wealth and luck as well as offer protection. Known for their calming effect, pearls can balance karma, strengthen relationships, and keep children safe. The pearl is also said to symbolize the purity, generosity, integrity, and loyalty of its wearer. Unlike other gems, the pearl is organic matter derived from a living creature.  Over time, the pearl has become the symbol of purity and innocence.
