When color power and ultimate luxury matter most ~ then these are the crowns. Crowns are connected by long white ribbon. Pearl has been around for centuries. Ancient civilizations in India and China mention the pearls in their mythologies and literature. Indias lord Vishnu, the maintainer of the world, plucked the first pearl from the depths of the ocean, to give his daughter Pandaia on her wedding day.In Egypt, mother-of-pearl was used for decoration as early as 4000 B.C. Ancient Romans adorned their gowns and had their sofas upholstered with pearls. Pearl finds a mention also in the Bible. Pearl is a very delicate gem. Unlike other gemstones, the luster that one sees on a pearl is just coated on by the living mollusk. To retain the pearly luster, always keep the pearl wedding crowns inside the silky satin fabric interior of a wedding crown case. A little care will ensure that your important symbol of your Orthodox wedding ~ your wedding crowns ~ will retain their majestic luster for generations to come!
