The pearl was the only gemstone made by a living creature — and for that reason alone, it commanded a price no other stone could match in the ancient world. Pliny the Elder placed it above all others, documenting how Roman women wore pearl jewelry as the ultimate display of wealth and refinement. Harvested from the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the coasts of India, pearls moved through trade routes long before most gemstones were even named. (Pliny the Elder, Natural History, 77 AD)
