Tonight’s Stone: Pearl
“Tears of the Sea, Light of the Moon”
~ Pearl Diver ~
Tonight’s cocktail is the perfect match for the pearl: the Pearl Diver. This cocktail is made by shaking rum, lime juice, orange juice, grenadine syrup, and coconut cream. It is poured into a cocktail glass and garnished with a pearl. This cocktail offers a sweet and refreshing taste, evoking the tropical ambiance and the beauty of pearls.
Pearls are stones born in the sea. They are formed when a mollusk covers a foreign substance that enters its body with layers of a substance called nacre. Therefore, pearls are also known as the tears of the sea. Pearls come in various colors like white, pink, and black. They have a luster that seems to reflect the light of the moon.
Pearls have long been a symbol of a woman’s beauty and purity. Unlike other stones, pearls are rarely processed. They are used in their natural form in accessories like necklaces and earrings. Pearls represent a unique, natural beauty.
Why not listen to “Moonlight” while gazing at a pearl? This piece is a piano sonata composed in 1801 by the German composer Ludwig van Beethoven. It was dedicated to a woman Beethoven was in love with. The piece is known for its quiet and delicate melody. It contains beautiful tones that resemble moonlight reflecting on the water’s surface. The song captures the moonlight-like charm of pearls, making it a romantic composition.
There’s a story about pearls called “Cleopatra’s Wager.” It’s about Cleopatra, the queen of ancient Egypt, and Mark Antony, a general of ancient Rome.
Cleopatra and Mark Antony fell in love. One day, they made a bet about who could host a more lavish banquet. Confident of her victory, Cleopatra invited Mark Antony. The banquet initially featured only simple dishes, leading Mark Antony to believe he had won.
However, Cleopatra, in a dramatic finale, dissolved the largest pearl she owned in wine and drank it. This pearl was said to be worth half of the Roman state budget at the time. Cleopatra declared her victory with this act. Mark Antony was astonished by her extravagance. This episode highlights the value and allure of pearls in history.
