For me: I have had to battle back from depression and am healing from a very painful episode in my life. Losing my husband twice: once to his demons he drowned in addictions and then to his untimely death at age 52. We were married 26 years. So, the reason for the ring. John bought me a ring on each of our milestone anniversaries. 5 years---a simple gold band, 10 years---a sapphire, 20 a lapis and opal inlay. It seemed natural to me that I should get a pearl on the 30th to carry on the tradition.
The Pearl of Peace is especially significant. I have had to do a lot of soul searching, forgiving, healing and mending my heart as to events to that scarred me and wounded my soul and spirit. Pearls of great price have healed me: scriptures, prayers, ARP meetings, friends, family, home teacher, writing, knitting.
I have found peace in My Savior. The ultimate gift of peace. The finest pearl. The Pearl of great price to me.
