A look at the many aspects of pearls; their myths and legends, uses throughout the ages in art, and the meanings bestowed upon on them. They have bewitched many cultures - Hindus considered them dewdrops from the ocean. From Persia to Rome, Byzantium, Europe, India and China, pearls have been used in jewellery and objects to enhance and decorate the powerful and wealthy. This lecture traces the history and romance of pearls through objects, jewellery and depiction in paintings.
