Burn the Saint Joan of Arc candle with the intention to dwell in possibility. Let the fragrance of smooth Jasmine and warm Oud be a reminder that you can go as far as your mind lets you. Saint Joan of Arc is a heroine remembered for her courage and fearless pursuit of her destiny. Born as a peasant girl in 1412, Joan knew from an early age that she was destined for greatness. Around age twelve, she began receiving messages from the Divine, urging her to lead a pious life as the designated savior of France. By eighteen, Joan successfully led the French army in a victory which enabled King Charles VII to be crowned king once more, saving France from English takeover. Joan was at King Charles VII's side and remained an important leader of the French army until her capture and ultimate death. After Joan's death, King Charles VII ordered an investigation that declared Joan of Arc to be officially innocent of all charges and designated a martyr.

These freshwater pearls are baroque pearls. 

Some of the most famous pearls in history have been baroque pearls. These include the Imperial Hong Kong pearl, the Hope Pearl and the pearl earring of King Charles I.

Baroque pearls are typically very lustrous thanks in part to the bumps and ridges on the pearl’s surface that interact with light differently to a perfect pearl.

Because of their unique shapes, each baroque pearl is unique and has its own personality, giving them a natural, organic look. It’s very hard, if not impossible, to find two baroque pearls that are identical. 

Baroque pearls have beautiful overtones that shimmer over the surface of the pearl. Regardless of the body color of the pearl, the irregular shape accentuates the color, adding stunning overtones and even orient.

This is because freshwater mussels aren’t bead-nucleated but are tissue nucleated. Because of this, the creature doesn’t have a ‘template’ to help it create the perfect pearl. Instead, it forms it into all shapes in an organic way.
