Mallorca pearls are imitation pearls that are produced, using a secret process, on the island of Majorca, Spain. Spherical pieces of opaque white glass of a similar weight to real pearls are dipped into a special mixture of pearly essence called "Essence d'Orient"; which is made of substances extracted from ground up fish scales and shells and mixed with a resin like substance. Many layers are needed to achieve a pearl of size; then they are sealed with a lacquer and polished; the result is a very real appearance that is durable and affordable. Pearl is the birthstone for June and the anniversary gift for the 30th wedding anniversary. Pearls also represent wisdom gained through experience. The gems of the sea are believed to offer protection to the wearer, as well as attract good luck and wealth. Moreover, pearls speak of the wearer’s purity and integrity.
