Freshwater Cultured PearlsLike south sea pearls which occur naturally in oysters, freshwater pearls occur naturally in mussels. Freshwater pearls are farmed in varieties of freshwater mussels such as Hyriopsis & Cristaria whose shells can produce up to 100 pearls simultaneously. Freshwater pearls are not marketable in their natural state and do require some artificial enhancements. However, new farming & pearl enhancement technology has enabled the freshwater pearls to be produced in a more rounded state and in an array of colors. Instantly appealing, their luminescent depth rivals naturals because, they are pearls throughout, and the price-value anomaly is obvious to consumers.Unlike some freshwater pearls, most of the fine jewelry pieces in our freshwater cultured pearl collection are round pearls and have a likeness to the Akoya Pearl at a fraction of the cost. Other shapes of our fine jewelry pieces feature coin shaped, keshi, and the ever so elegant baroque - as seen worn many times by Angelina Jolie!
