A Huge Pearl Has Been Destroying Marriages Since the 1500s

- Diamonds are a girl's best friend, but not any jewelry is a good gift. You'll be surprised to know some pieces of it, like a cursed pearl, can destroy marriages! And that certainly makes that jewelry a girl's worst enemy. One pearl in particular managed to make plenty of enemies over centuries of ruining its owners' love lives.
For about 300 years, the infamous La Peregrina pearl was the largest to have ever been found, originally weighing in just shy of 56 carats or about 11 grams. King Philip presented his new bride with the mesmerizing pearl as a wedding present. Mary and Philip never got divorced, but it is known that the king left her not long after tying the knot. And that was only the beginning of the pearl's adventures.

SUMMARY:
-It was a slave in Panama who found the pearl in the early 1500s. Since Panama was a Spanish colony at the time, La Peregrina was then immediately handed over to Prince Philip II of Spain who presented it to his wife Mary. Queen had a taste for getting rid of people she didn’t like very much. Philip later left her, and it could’ve been the title thing, Mary’s not-so-enticing looks, or, given the victims yet to come, it may have been the cursed pearl at work.
-The Spanish king tried to give La Peregrina to Mary’s half-sister and successor, Elizabeth I…as a way to propose marriage. After her refusal, Philip kept his big shiny pearl, and it stayed with the Spanish Crown for the next 250 years.
-After Napoleon Bonaparte had declared himself Emperor of France, he made his older brother Joseph the King of Spain, and his wife Julie Clary would be Queen. She was the next lucky lady to receive the pearl as a gift from her husband. They pretty much lived totally separate lives.
-From Napoleon, it was sold to an English Duke by the name of James Hamilton in 1848. He’d bought the pearl for his wife Louisa.
-Richard Burton presented La Peregrina to his wife Elizabeth Taylor. There’s no proof that La Peregrina was to blame for these two actors’ failed marriage, but on the other hand, there’s also no proof that it wasn’t.
-The pearl was sold at Christie’s auction house on December 14, 2011 to a private buyer for a whopping $11.8 million.

Poor pearl who can’t speak for itself and keeps dangling from neck to neck in a desperate attempt to be permanently loved and appreciated is being blamed for individuals’ idiocy.😔 The poetic injustice!!
It just wants its own love life 😂

So I invented a tale. So it goes like this.
Back in the olden days, there was a mermaid who was to be married to a handsome mermaid as well, it was a forged marriage, but the princess mermaid was very attracted to his handsome suitor, but he wasn't although he agreed to the marriage to gain the title of being “Crowned Prince”. On the day of the marriage the princess saw her suitor with another mermaid. This broke her heart that she cried all day and didn't attend the marriage, as she was busy crying in her room her “ex-suitor” snuck in and killed the princess, as she gave up her final breath the final glimpse she saw was the prince and the final tear that came out was filled with the emotions of sorrow and anger promising to herself that on her next life she will never love any person ever again. And (legend//although my mind made it up//) says that her soul was transferred into her tear that turned into a pearl. And up to this day the pearl would never ever let anyone who wears it end up with a happy love story . . . //the prince ended up marrying the second princess and the death of the first princess was told to be suicide//
So how do u think of my story?? Keep in mind that it was a tale I created in my head....
Nice.
Mary: (2:10) i feel sick. (takes off pearl) huh i feel better now
Prince Phillip: will you marry me again?
Mary: yes
Everyone: yaaaaay we have our queen back! lets throw out the pearl it caused all this anyway so yaaaaay (throws it away)
unfortunate couple: look, a pearl!
pearl: you thought you could destroy me...
me: (sees couple fighting) (sees pearl) i know your issue here peeps... (stomps on pearl)
next day
me: (sees parents fighting) (notices pearl on mom's neck) nooooooooooooooooooo!!!
pearl: you will never escape me...
mom: honey what's wrong?
me: take off the pearl NOW
mom: ok...
(Mom and dad stop fighting)
next next day
me: (sees multiple pearls everywhere and people fighting) noooooooooooooooooooo!!!
pearl: muah ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
what
I hope that pearl doesnt cause anymore trouble! Much love and blessings from an American CZcamsr!
I think the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland was inspired by Mary ( “Bloody Mary” )
Head...😂
Queen of Hearts
@@mayetumz9954,and Alice and Red Queen in Resident Evil were inspired by AIW
That was very off topic o-o
Omy 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Lol
The pearl looks like the teardrop of its owners
Wow, that's amazing and terrifying too I need Microsoft Word for this research.
A pearl is just a pearl. Nothing more, nothing less.
I love that the channel name is Bright Side, yet the video isn't something seemingly bright since it's been braking marriages
I think that every wife loved pearl more than their husbands.
The poor pearl was not cursed
In those eras, love hardly mattered. Only power.
Marriage is no game I didn't get married yet but I know that. My mom and dad always do this every month
Idk 😐 if it’s the pearl or not also marriages and divorces were very common in those times
In my country if is said that Pearls bring tears & in this case it seems true!
Demi how
@@janelaflin5130 It's a superstition.

Random woman: gets married
This pearl: imma end this man’s whole career

Thanks you for letting us know about the this

A diamond is not my best friend. But you who is?
My cat.
Well my human best freinds are my best freind but my cat is like a best freind..🐱💎
Im on my dad account by the way.
I want to buy my cat a diamond color.
Blagoy Stoil
My best friend is human.
O.o My name is Pearl. I didn't know that I destroy marriages..
That’s a cool name!
Me: *doesnt like friends boyfriend* *but wants friend to be happy*
Also me: *time to get that pearl...*
It's because the pearl should never be given alone but in a pair with another pearl as a set. My boyfriend went the jewelry shop to get me a pearl necklace. They told him the pearl necklace should never be given alone but in pair. So, he got me a beautiful set with earrings. Then I researched and found out that women who were given just a pearl necklace either died or sth terrible happened to them.
5:42 “-sold to James Hamilton”
Me: MY NAME IS ALEXANDER HAMILTON
So your related to him :0
AND THERE'S A MILLION THINGS I HAVEN'T DONE. BUT JUST YOU WAIT! JUST YOU WAIIIIT!
(Also Alexander did have a brother named James Hamilton)
Buddy you're related😃😑🥺

I've learned about alot of cursed jewellery items that I never knew existed, thank you Bright side.
Pearl: ah it's so nice to be home
Man: *grabs pearl*
Pearl: *triggered*
Coincidence. My family has a ring like that: same wedding band worn by four men (handed down to the kids in succession, and one of their kids) Each of those marriages ended in divorce. That ring has been retired after just 3 generations--no millions. (So has "marriage," btw.)
That explains a lot 😆😁.
i love it BRIGHTSIDE ! AND MAKE MORE VIDEO PLEASE
Tears and tears teared apart.
Mistress Mary, quite contrary
Bloody Mary
Queen of hearts
😂🤣
King Philip named to our country The Philippines we've colonized for more than 300years
That's more than India-250 years
When did he colonize our country?
The pearl looks lite a tear drop💧
it can't be coincidence if it went through so many owners and every single one of their love lives were ruined
How did I get over 850 likes?
Lol, I liked it too!
Same
Thanks
I hate when ppl do that they just do that to draw attention and want likes for no reason. You need a good comments to earn likes so I don’t see the point on 207 (at the moment) likes!
Same
Rare information 👍🏻🤓
The Pearl looks like a tear drop like the tear it must has brought its owners

Call funeral services just in case
The marriages to Phillip II not working out probably had something to do with women dying from childbirth and him marrying his cousins than the pearl. 🤷♀️
Yes, the lightbulbs
My granny bought the pearl.... needless to say it's back in the sea😂
Philippeines was also there lol
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells,
And cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row
I want more vids like this
This story is really fascinating but I know for certain that King Philip II of Spain absolutely hated Queen Elizabeth, so much that he helped the Irish rebel against her. Why would he then go on to give her a pearl as a proposal of marriage?
Kind of late but still might as well mention that I upload waffles every day
Mary? Oh, that's queen Elizabeth's sister.
This just reminded me of "The girl with the pearl earring"
Plz make a video on bloody Mary. Plz a request. If agree plz reply
sorry people that got divorced
Yes I do think that is true
I was watching this video at 3:00am in night n at 2:58 u broked me...i m out of my mind!
What do i do know???
"If diamonds are actually a girl's best friend-"
Bruh, I'm not that lonely.
Anybody remembers the pearl by John Steinbeck the one where coyotito was shot in the head
Pearls bring tears.
Some have estimated Elizabeth's fortune was in the billions of dollars, but she left most of her fortune to her favorite charities and in a closed trust that can't be evaluated! But Richard Burton had a fondness for giving his lovely wife the biggest and most famous gems in the world! Some are in museums now. But there are others that he could not buy for her! I saw the Hope Diamond at the Smithsonian when I visited there years ago and bought a souvenir of a replica of the gorgeous deep blue gem in the gift shop there. The Hope Diamond moves around every few years to different museums, heavily guarded and under secret when it is moved.
*Sweet home alabama*
Wow that pearl is alive for 6hundred years even king philip who name the philipines my home

Marriage : IM AliVe
