An 8,000-year-old pink pearl, the oldest ever discovered in the world, is about to be unveiled for the first time in Abu Dhabi

, a Venetian jewel merchant named Gasparo Balbi traveled through the region during that time and mentioned the islands off the area's coastal shores as a primary source to sell and buy pearls.

At the archaeological site of Marawah Island, researchers also found a bounty of bones stemming from marine animals like fish, turtles, dugong, and dolphins. Despite its old age, the 8,000-year-old pearl measures under an inch and remains a sight to behold with its perfect complexion and soft pink hue.

The display will be a unique and wide-ranging mix between precious artifacts and modern luxuries. A Mamluk carpet from Egypt dating back to the 15th Century, for example, will be shown side-by-side with an hourglass piece created by Australian designer Marc Newson. The exhibit will also include vintage and modern creations by high-end fashion designers today, such as Balenciaga, Chanel, and Dior.
