No Grit, No Pearl.

Natural pearls are extremely rare, and are formed when a threatening irritant (sand, etc.) makes its way between the two shells of a clam or oyster, into its center. Once the irritant is present, the oyster slowly creates a coating over the irritant in order to protect itself, and thus over months or even years, a pearl is formed. The saying "No grit, no pearl" means that without the presence of that irritant/grit, there would be no pearl. In other words, the pearl signifies that beauty often comes through hardship.

I love the bold, weathered lettering in this piece, and I hope it serves as inspiration to you if you're in the grit phase of your circumstance, or as a reminder to be grateful in the midst of the pearl.

Canvas Details

  • All canvases are gallery wrapped and printed with archival, UV-resistant inks on museum quality canvas.
  • Our canvases are digital reproduction prints with no variation in surface texture. They are smooth to the touch; any texture you see is part of the scan of the image. There is no faux texture added.
  • Small to mid-sized unframed canvases are available in our Canvas Signs. The mid to large unframed canvases are available in our Traditional Canvases. All framed canvases are built around Traditional Canvases. Both canvas styles look the same from the sides and the front. More about our canvas types and frames here.

I love this print

I love this print. I opted for the canvas and you can see print on the sides of the canvas wrap. It doesn’t bother me but if it would bother you then I’d say get it framed!

No Grit, No Pearl

I bought this for my daughter who is a graduate student and she placed it over her desk as a reminder when she studies to keep working hard. It looks amazing and she loves it!
