The History of Pearls As early as 2000 B.C., pearls have been used as medicine in China, where it was believed to represent wealth, power and longevity. Even today, low-grade pearls are ground for use as medicine in the Orient. Pearls were also widely used as medicine in Europe until the seventeenth century. Arabs and Persians believed it was a cure for various kinds of diseases, as well as insanity. Long ago, when pearls were not cultured and thousands of oysters had to be searched for only one pearl, the gems were important financial assets, comparable in price to real estate.
