According To NJ Berthelot, the celebrat
td scientist historian, there are no very
ancient pearls in existence, for which q
sufficient reason is found in the fact that
pearls, unlike precious stones are destruc
tible. They discolor and disintegrate The
| pearl is not mentioned by Homer or Herod
otus, he states. 1t begins to appear in
| the time of Alexander-that is, of the con
| quest of the east, and il is about this time
| that the name Margarita-that is 10 say,
Pearls first given to women. Not a
great deal is known about the value attrib-
uted by the ancients to particular pearls.
The one that Cleopatra drank was valued
at $500, 900 modern money. Mention is
made by Pliny of practice of Clodius
son OF the actor Asop, who gave his guests
dissolved pearls to drink
The Romans appreciated the pearl, and
after the growth of luxury began to have
its usual effect i'm diminishing the birth
rate, one Of the laws against celihacy pro-
Vldcd that no ChilClCss woman or spinster
should wear pearls under the age of 80.
Pearls are prominent in the royal toilets of
Europe. Catherine dc Medicis was said TO
have the finest pearls in Europe When
she married Henri, due q Orleans, francis

queen OF France, had them set in tic
parurcs familiar in her portraits. At that
queens fail the pearls were captured by
Morton and sent 20 London. CathC rine IN
structod her ambassador to buy them, but
they were bought by Elizabeth for IL, OO0
crowns.
AT that time pearls cut leading figure
in woman's dress. The great sleeves were
decorated with them. The favorite orna-
ment, however was the raternoster en-
bracing the waist, then hanging down in

Grafton was completed bya bertha defining
the breasts joining in front and descend
