What do pearls represent and the significant meaning of receiving one?

Money. If you give one you’re loaded and if you get one you’re putting out

depends on the sort and where. many may not care for some pearl necklaces

Hidden value? Rarity? Purity?

An oyster got indigestion

It means an oyster died so you can look pretty

Cum, ever received a pearl necklace.

To me a pearl represents natural God given beauty.
Even diamonds man has to cut and polish.
Pearls are found complete by nature.
Pearls also represent life's obstacles and tribulations turning bad things or bad experiences into value and beauty over time.

Nothing?
