Pearl is a pale shade of off-white with light pink undertones. It’s named after the gemstone, which comes from living creatures like clams, oysters, and mussels. The color is symbolic of wisdom, enlightenment, innocence, purity, and good fortune.

The pearl has always been considered pure and beautiful. In Ancient Greece, they believed these gemstones were “the tears of the gods.” Royal families would wear pearl necklaces or present pearls as gifts to show off their great wealth.
