In 1913 the pearl had to be drilled and cleaned to prevent it from getting lost.

This is an addition originally added on the article page: Most of the article is correct, Last major monarch was Empress Eugenie Bonaparte, III, whereby the pearl became commonly nicknamed The Eugenie Pearl. Elizabeth's quote after her dog gnarled the pearl is incorrect as the pearl was originally the shape of a baby's thumb, not the tear drop of today. John Latendresse, founder of both the Chinese, fresh water pearl industry, a copy of the much desired, and now extinct BIWA pearl from Lake Biwaco, Japan, also founded in Camden Tennessee the American Pearl Company, as in '50 each US state had fresh water pearls, today less than 20 due to pollution. A US pearl can be told from which area it came via its colour. Tyson destroyed most rivers in Arkansas under Governor Clinton, killing the white with rare recescent blue Orient, or overtone and luster. La Perigrina was peeled down layer by layer by my mentor, John Latendresse after the dog did mark it and as mentioned changed the shape as many jewellry books will show the original shape and size. Finally, no pearl is created by a piece of sand, as protein is necessary for any pearl producing mollusk to salivate its mother-of-pearl, called nacre, layer by layer to avoid the irritation the protein, from fish bone, coral, to a piece of sea weed under the mollusks lip causes. There is a worldwide salt water virus making pearls and pearl producing mollusk to become extince, the least difficult being the South Sea Pearls, known for exquisite, natural blacks to silvers to white, 600 miles NE of Australia, not the Tahitian pearl. La Perigrina will carry a hefty price tag for its incredible history and with the addition of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's role. Burton bought the pearl when pearls were 60% lower than market place and the value today is unbelievable in lieu of it being smaller as it was originally, the largest pearl in the world.

From revisions in this article I can see that the idea that Phillip II gifted Mary I of England with the pearl are just myths. But that makes me wonder: what is the pearl Mary is wearing in many paintings? It looks very similar to the jewels worn by later queens of Spain, which are said to be La Peregrina.
