  Pearls and shells have been used as raw materials in sacred artifacts for thousands of years. Greeks and Romans traded them as currency in the form of wearable wealth. Ancient Egyptians were buried with their pearls. Within the last few centuries jeweled crucifixes, carved pendants symbolizing deep love, and the handles of ornate fans integral to the art of seduction have all featured pearls and pearlescent shells.
