Description Natural pearls were the oldest gems known
to mankind. Long before man discovered the
diamond and other precious stones, pearls were
considered to be the first precious gem. The Vedas
of India, the Bible and the Quran make several
reference of pearls as objects of adoration and
worship. The natural pearls of the Gulf of Mannar
and the Persian Gulf enjoyed very good reputation
in the world trade from the time immemorial. The
Gulf of Mannar pearls are famous throughout the
world as 'Orient Pearls'.
