Since the beginning of the 20th century pearls have become more common. Therefore, cultured pearls have changed the demand, leaving us with a funny look. Yet this true work of art, the pearl, has fascinated people since ancient times.
Pliny the Elder in his Natural History recounts:
«There were two pearls, the largest of all time; both were owned by Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt; they had been given to her after passing through
the hands of the kings of the East».
It is this wonder that I propose you rediscover with this conference on pearls. Discover their natural history, this masterpiece of marine nature that combines the mineral with the living to form nacre.
