Are there any quotations or poems about the relationship between pearls and love?

Question

I want to give away crystal oyster shells that hold a pearl inside at my wedding as favors. To us, the pearl symbolizes the precious thing that has grown inside us or ... we have found a precious thing inside us, whatever. Does anybody know of an elegant way to express these thoughts? I want to print the sentiment on little scrolls to attach to the favor boxes. Thank you!

Answer 1

Posy and pearls

Amethyst and gold

Forever you and I

Our precious love to hold.

~Astrid Alauda

There is a saying "Every pearl has its oyster" - perhaps you could add something to that like "Just as every pearl has its oyster, Michael and Rachel have found one another....

Answer 2

Why don't you make up your own quote, you had a good one going already about a pearl growing inside of us, between us ect.

Keep working with that!

What a lovely favor idea!!!  I only hope that I can help you seal the deal with a great quote.  Here is one just off the top of my head...

Like sand forms into a pearl...

So does the love between a boy and a girl.
