The world’s oldest gemstone, the pearl has a long and illustrious history, which predates written history. Admired for their beautiful lustre, the pearl is a miracle of nature and amongst the most highly coveted gems of all time.
In 1901, Edward VII became king and hailed in the new Edwardian age. The turn of the twentieth century brought with it many innovations and discoveries. Plastic is invented, Einstein discovered relativity and Madame Curie discovered (to her cost) radioactivity. The British Empire spanned the globe, from Canada and Australia to India and parts of Africa.
