Pearls will dissolve in vinegar. This is because pearls are mostly calcium carbonate (you can find calcium carbonate probably in your medicine cabinet--it is the main ingredient in stomach antacid tablets, such as Tums). Another common item that is calcium carbonate would be eggshells. It is just in a harder form.
Calcium carbonate, through chemical reactions to a weak acid solution (vinegar, also a red wine would be a weak acid solution), dissolves the chemical bonds in the calcium carbonate pearl and therefore, it will dissolve.
Give it a try yourself--get some eggshells, place them in a glass. Then add white vinegar. Give it a bit and see what happens to the eggshell.
I would really suggest that you not try this will real Pears--real pearls are expensive, and someone would be really, really angry that you destroyed expensive pearls--eggshells are so much better to do this experiment. No one is going to really mind that you have dissolved eggshells
Pearls are made of calcium carbonate, which is vulnerable to acids. Therefore, strong acids like vinegar or hydrochloric acid can dissolve or damage pearls. It is important to keep pearls away from cleaning solutions or chemicals that can harm them.

Can you actually say water can melt do you not have to be a solid to MELT?
Water can melt if it transitions from a solid state, such as ice, to a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. The term "melt" refers to the change in physical state from solid to liquid, regardless of the initial form.

What causes ice cream melt?
Heat causes any frozen liquid to melt. When a liquid is frozen, all of the atoms come together. When that frozen liquid is heated up, all of the atoms move away from each other which causes it to melt.
