Pearls

I received a cultured perl necklace yesterday as present for my birthday. Il was my first jewelry of pearls. It is the timef to begin, may be, for a woman of 27 years old.

This made me think of the exhibition that I saw at the Musuem of Natural History in Paris, about the Pearls. The exhibition presented the pearls as a natural creation, a history of humain beauty and artworks.

I was certainly more interested by the jewelries than other articles exposed. One of the jewel was the famous ring of Mikimoto which matches the pearl and the diamond. Kokichi Mikimoto was the first person in the world, in 1893, to successfully culture a pearl. The brand is today the reference of the jewelries of pearl and has a shop at the place Vendôme, in Paris.
