Freshwater Pearls

Known for their exclusive shapes and affordable prices, freshwater pearls have gained popularity among jewelers and consumers alike. These pearls display both a unique texture and tender luster. Their intrinsic beauty and myriad shapes are a testimony to their genuineness, making them very popular among pearl connoisseurs.

A freshwater oyster can produce around 50 pearls at a single time, though they are of a lower purity than saltwater pearls. This drawback, however, is overshadowed by the diversity, durability and affordability of the freshwater pearl. For these reasons, jewelers often use freshwater pearls in creative jewelry and fashion accessories.

Apart from the traditional white pearl, freshwater pearls are available in beautiful lavender, peach and tangerine shades. Pearl shapes include coin, rice and button, making them diverse in usage. Though some may appear round to the naked eye, freshwater pearls are never truly round in shape.

Though freshwater pearls are abundant, radiant and spherical varieties are only occasionally available. When available, these types come at a premium cost. The worth of these dazzling, rich gems, however, will last you a lifetime.
