On their wedding day, Jamie gives Claire a pearl necklace that belonged to his mother, Ellen MacKenzie. These pearls are symbolic of Jamie’s affection and trust in Claire. Claire pawns the pearls after the arrests of Jamie’s men for desertion to get them blankets and other necessities until Jamie can secure their pardon. At this point, the pearls become a symbol of generosity for the men.
Claire wears the pearls as she tells her story to Brianna and Roger. She tells Roger that she would like to use them as proof of her story, but they both agree that there is nothing on the pearls to prove they belonged to the MacKenzie clan, that they are over 200 years old, or that Jamie gave them to her. In the end, these pearls are only a nostalgic piece of jewelry that could or could not have come from a Scots Highlander in 1743. To Claire, however, they continue to symbolize Jamie’s love for her on their wedding day.
Claire wears two wedding rings: one gold ring on her left hand given to her by Frank, and one of silver on her right hand given to her by Jamie.
