Legend has it Cleopatra bet Marc Antony that she could host the most expensive dinner in history to impress him with Egypt’s wealth. She crushed a large pearl from her earring, dissolved it in a goblet of wine and drank it. She won the bet! Today, that pearl would fetch $14 million. Pearl is the June birthstone.
