Freshwater Pearls

Freshwater pearls are organic gems produced by freshwater mollusks, primarily mussels. Unlike saltwater pearls, which form in oysters, freshwater pearls are typically cultivated in lakes and rivers. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors due to the diverse species of mussels. Freshwater pearls are often more affordable than their saltwater counterparts and are popular for jewelry like necklaces and earrings. Their unique, natural luster and texture make them highly valued, and they represent a lovely choice for both casual and formal wear. As with any pearl, proper care can enhance their longevity and beauty.
