Jewelry Judge

Pearls were a symbol of wealth and power in Ancient Rome, and at that time the world's very finest natural freshwater pearls came from the riverbeds of Scotland. Legend states that natural pearls held more value than diamonds. They were held in such high esteem that Caesar (100 BC - 44 BC) passed a law where only aristocrats could wear pearls within Rome's borders.
