**ARE pearls...negative? Seriously...who likes being irritated? Irritation can lead to speaking in your outdoor voice...and more! I can't imagine an oyster saying: Oh goody...coming along shortly s something that will irritate me...lovely!! I welcome it!
People might want to reconsider the entire feng sui around wearing pearls... Just sayin.
I bet it's hard for them to talk too. Like having a marble in your mouth. 😁
I wear mine everyday almost. But it wasn't until I had to have them restrung that I started to wonder...
HAHA!

I guess if you're looking at them and not wearing them....they can be negative..
