First recorded in history by a Chinese historian in 2,206 BCE, pearls have been valued as gemstones for millennia. However, there's a major difference between pearls and other well-known gems like diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. While these others form as minerals underground, pearls have organic origins. They form within various species of freshwater and saltwater mollusks. Simply put, pearls are gems but not stones. However, the ancients made little distinction between pearls and actual stones.

The rarity and expense of pearls also contributed to some common expressions still used today. In The Bible, Matthew 7:6 admonishes against throwing "pearls before swine," wasting what is valuable on fruitless endeavors. We still commonly refer to precious advice and counsel as "pearls of wisdom." In the millennia before perliculture, pearls were very hard to find and harvest. When wisdom is given, treasure it like a rare pearl.
