Shakespearean Sonnet To Pearls

The use of white pearl makes an object nice.
A glow of satin sheen is pleasing sight.
Increases beauty by a factor twice,
and showing sea pearl makes one often right.
A necklace beautifies a lady's grace.
Her white pearls so enhances style's dress shown.
Best seen when she doth wear neckline of lace,
a simple piece of a well chosen tone.
Some oysters make the jewel we now see,
secreting substance placed around sand's grain.
Gift given mortals we, from nature free,
but taken by few seen without bad strain.
Give me pearls every time for they do please.
With rubies, diamonds bright they're placed with ease.
