Pearls

Pearl, Pearl necklace, String of pearls

A pearl begins as a grain of sand that bothers an oyster, which makes it a lovely image of something beautiful growing out of difficulty. Dreaming of pearls is often about quiet value: wisdom, patience or a strength that took time to form. A string of pearls adds understated elegance, the kind that never needs to show off. Finding a pearl inside a shell is a classic dream of discovering something rare when you least expect it. Diving for them shows you're willing to go deep for what matters.
