Freshwater Pearls

Natural freshwater pearls come from mussels that live in ponds, rivers, and lakes. Pearls can also be cultured in freshwater, with the majority started by manually inserting a piece of the mussel’s own mantle into its flesh.

NOTE: The words uneven, rice, top drilled, potato and blister describes the shape of the pearl.
Unless otherwise stated, all freshwater pearls are sold in strings of ±36cm long.
