Indigenous peoples of the Americas regarded the positive spiritual and creative power of light to be manifested in many brilliant objects - from iridescent feathers to shiny minerals and metals. By contrast, Europeans valued only a few glittering objects - pearls, emeralds, gold and silver - from a commercial standpoint. By adopting a biographical approach to one of these items - pearls - it is possible to explore the ways in which these earliest of traded objects embodied, bridged and transformed the material, social and imagined worlds of Amerindians and Europeans from AD 1492 onwards
