Pearls, mined in China, was considered not only a high-quality decoration, which demonstrated the high social status of its owner, but also a full-fledged money. Pearls were almost universal in ancient China, and in some provinces it was a more popular currency than traditional money.

With the beginning of European expansion in different parts of the world, pearls appeared in the Old World. At the same time, European travelers were amazed by the unprecedented beauty of the decorations that the rulers of Asian countries and Iran wore. Some especially rich individuals from among the local nobility managed to decorate themselves with hundreds of very beautiful and bright products - a high-quality bracelet made of pearls in combination with beads and other jewelry was considered the absolute norm here.

To date, China’s position in the field of pearl mining has not shaken. However, the traditional extraction of natural stone by diving to great depths is a thing of the past. Now in China there are a significant number of special factories where pearls are grown artificially. Cultivated Chinese stone is not less popular than natural – this is due to the fact that its cost is much more affordable for average consumers.
