Pearls

The Memory of Mercy must show that mercy is not to be thrust upon those who despise it, for mercy is not a gift to be trampled under foot by the persistent rebels of time, presenting not that which is holy to dogs, neither casting your pearls before swine. 28:6.7 140:3.18 186:2.2

The first necklace worn by man, set with pearls, was made with a preserved umbilical cord. 88:1.8
