Pearls Are More Than Just A Fashion Statement

Rumor has it that wearing pearls is more than a just mere fashion statement these days.  Most women who wear pearls do so because of their strong fashion sense and the natural beauty of the pearls   It seems that there are even more reasons to wear pearls now, besides just good fashion sense.  Did you know that wearing a pearl strand necklace for a long period of time may help avoid faucitis, more commonly known as a sore throat as well as hyperthyroidism? Experts say that this is because long term exposure to pearls can make the human body system "cool down", so wearing a pearl strand may also ease one’s temper during menopause. In addition, because of the smooth nature of nacre and the elements contained in pearls, the area on your neck where it is exposed to your pearl necklace, may become very smooth and soft.

In fact, people started to use pearls for medical and cosmetic use as early as 2000 years ago. Pearls contain plenty of chemicals including calcium, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, magnesium, manganese, aluminum, iron, tungsten, zinc, lead, silver, gold, lithium, iodine, zirconium, selenium, etc.   Hence, by wearing pearls regularly, it can allow these effective elements to filter through human pores, be absorbed by deep tissue, and result in cosmetic improvements.  This process may help enhance one’s metabolism, and as a result your skin will become smooth, and it may slow down the aging process.   Sound like a good enough reason to wear pearls to me!
