Pearls add touch of luxury and elegance to every occasion, even an extravagant feast! Surprised! According to ancient Roman history, famous Cleopatra had made a bet with her boyfriend Marc Antony that all the display of luxury and feasts he made were nothing in comparison to extravagance she could demonstrate like she could spend around 10,000,000 sesterces on a single meal equal to $500,000 today! Actually, Marc ridiculed this claim and accepted this bet.

Next day, Cleopatra invited Marc to a meal that was served sumptuously. He made a comment that there was nothing special than his daily meal. Nonetheless, when a single dish with vinegar was placed before her, she took off her real pearl earrings [perhaps the largest ones] and dropped in the vinegar. The moment it dissolved, Cleopatra drank this mixture and thus won the bet.
