That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Where do people come up with this stuff. I used to wear pearl earings all the time when I was single and where I may have had some things happen that was not necessarily good, there was a lot of good that actually did happen to me as well. This is so false!

I heared that too and the first time I broke a mirror, I was sweating a lot and I was really counting when will be the year that bad luck will end, and I wanted to cry hard. I don't like to have bad luck, that's what my mind and heart is shouting those moments! Its very funny but its true. I prayed hard then try to convince myself like, it has no basis, do not believe on what you have heared! thoughs are fighting in my mind and luckily, I can't actually remember that there was an instance in my life or experiences I will consider as bad luck!

what??? never heard of this one...but yeah, it is ridiculous. i don't think we should believe in superstitious beliefs. it cramps our lives. we should just put our faith and trust in God and we will be safe. no sense believing in that stuff. no power on heaven or on earth is greater than the Lord.
take care and good day!

Some people say that pearls are cold and if you wear pearls, you can cry....it is all very superstitious...
Pearls are very pretty, anyone can wear it, regardless marital status....

I agree and for some reason I do not really know where are all these stories started and how come it became a belief! No one gave me an explanation yet as I was inquiring this issue to all of my friends who shared this to me! Not even their grandpa/ma can tell , they were just advices, take it or leave it! hahahhaha.....

I was told by my friends about this when I was still single and those time I really tried not to wear..hahhaha..I was scared but when i start asking other married girls if they have tried wearing when they were still single , they said "yes". So, i started using since I really love pearl even if its fake you know! I can say, I didn't have the bad luck since I got a very loving partner! hahahah.! I just posted this to gather thoughts from people and to correct my friends that until now are not really wearing pearls!

i haven't heard that kind of superstitious belief yet. i guess it's not a bad luck because i've seen so many single women wearing pearl earrings in our country these days

yea me too but I just can't convince some of my friends and cousins to enjoy life and never deprive themselves of enjoying something just because they are scared of all these beliefs.Anyway, I got all the proof now from all these married members who are telling me that they were using it when they will still single and now happily married, I will be forwarding this forum to my friends! so, they will start to go out from their shell! hahahhaha..Thanks rhane and have a great day!

i don't really believe in superstitions. i would say earrings makes a person look good. bad luck depends on a person.

Thats the spirit girl! hahaha...when I was younger, I was just very scary and very easy to believe on anything even without scientific basis, but, not now! I will always let my mind think and evaluate things before believing ! have a great time

I don't know this superstitious belief at all. I don't think wearing pearl earrings will give anybody bad luck. Unless they are robbed because of it.

hahhahah.....anyway, we are just looking really of a fashion one! I can't afford the real one , its just too way expensive and its amazing indeed. Since, the real one can be able to produce another one as time goes by, Its really amazing! In my case, I am only using the fake pearl and trying to collect different colors to match my blouses! So far, i got brown and blue! I just love pearl much more that if Its real...ohhhh...
