Many people throughout history have enjoyed giving things of value to the people they admire or love. Certain valuable and iconic jewels, such as diamonds, have come to represent love, engagement and marriage. Pearls are also revered items, yet their meaning, when given as a gift, can be appropriate on many different occasions and for different types of relationships with the recipient.
With Valentine’s Day nearly upon us, we thought we’d explore the meaning and significance of giving pearls as a gift. We hope to inspire you to think about other occasions where surprising the one you love with the gift of pearls would be an appropriate and loving moment in both of your lives.
June Birthdays
For women born in the month of June, opening every small wrapped birthday present is another chance to receive a gift of pearls, the birthstone of June. But even if it’s an expected gift, it’s still always a welcome gift, as pearls have a universal elegance that other jewelry can’t offer or match.
Pearls are natural, and most women long to have at least a pair of pearl earrings, if not a luxurious pearl necklace. They symbolize love in its most essential form, as well as wisdom, loyalty and understanding. A gift of pearls between two people represents a deep connection between them. Pearls also represent longevity and are often handed down to family members.
A Versatile and Elegant Gem
The generally neutral color of pearls means they suit all skin types. Pearls are also the only type of jewelry that can be worn with any type of outfit and always look proper and perfect. They can look just as naturally good when worn with jeans and an old sweater as they do when acting as the “pièce de résistance” and crowning glory when matched with a priceless designer gown.
Pearls are precious and will be cherished by the recipient. They hold their value forever and never go out of style. We’ll explore some other occasions where this extraordinary gemstone is a perfectly appropriate gift.
Romantic Occasions
Any private romantic occasion is the ideal time to give a gift of pearls. Valentine’s Day, any anniversary from the first kiss to the 60th wedding anniversary, is the perfect time for pearls. Pearls are culturally associated with the 30th wedding anniversary, but no woman would ever turn down a gift of pearls based on a technicality.
Birthdays
Pearls make superb birthday gifts, even if the recipient wasn’t born in June. They can be unexpected gifts, as birthdays tend to be lighthearted events celebrated with family and friends. But giving a pearl as a birthday gift shows them the depth of your love.
Graduation
A graduation can be a life-defining moment. Thoughtful and proud parents often give pearls as a symbol of their recognition that their “little girl” has achieved something special in life, can no longer be thought of as a little girl, and deserves a gift she can wear forever to remind her of her graduation day.
Mother’s Day
A Mother’s Day present shows the special bond and love between siblings and the woman who brought them into the world and helped raise them. It’s also an appropriate gift when given by the family’s father. It’s illustrating his appreciation and love through the years.
Promotions
Significant promotions should be thought of in the same category as graduations. They’re a significant step forward in life and deserve to show the same high regard by the gift of something timeless and eternally elegant. A perfect gift on the day of a woman’s significant promotion is a gift of high-quality pearl jewelry from Phuket.
