"My father gave my mother this exact pearl necklace right after I was born. Years later, I found out he decided on a pearl necklace at the time because my real name, Margaret, actually means pearl. Funnily enough, I grew up hating my real name. It wasn’t until years later that I discovered the connection between pearl and Margaret and, even though I don’t envision ever going by Margaret, I love that my parents decided on the name because the most valuable pearls occur spontaneously in the wild, and are extremely rare. They knew I wasn’t going to be like everyone else." Head to oremme.com to read our latest 'Mile Stones' feature where @thehiddenmes tells us about the two heirlooms she keeps closest.
