A man would do anything to win a woman’s heart. Mr. Plant was a good example back in the early 90’s. He owned the New York City Fifth Avenue flagship and it was his luxurious home. Just to know how precious pearls could be, Mr. Plant sold this building to Pierre Cartier.

The price was a hundred dollars and a strand of natural pearls. He gave his wife a gift of the natural pearls in form of a necklace. It was obvious that his wife was in love with the neckpiece. At that time, in 1917, the necklace was more valuable than the Neo-Renaissance mansion. He did all this in the name of love.

Pearls were and are still considered as one of the most romantic gems. They are sourced from oceans, seas, lakes and even ponds. Pearls are the only gems with a water origin. At the mid-sea, Venus the goddess of love is depicted standing in a mollusk. The sea is ever surfacing with emotional impulsiveness and soothing beauty. It is a figure of mystery full of love.

You will be surrounded by the moon-like gems that populate the island’s ocean floors.

In the middle of the sea, there is a hut-like wooden structure known as the pearl farm. A treat to the pearl farm would be nice.

After fishing out the mollusk, the technicians will then open each mollusk available. In some, the pearls will have formed. The pearls will be extracted using some tall tweezers, then graded and scrutinized according to their value. Pearls grading system is unique just like that of the diamond.
