About Freshwater Pearls

All our Pearls are natural freshwater cultured pearls that are grown inside the triangle shell mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii), A 2-7 year process! Although some Pearl shapes only take 8 months to a year to grow!

 

• Freshwater pearls are unique in that they are the ONLY tissue-nucleated cultured pearl in the world.       
• Our Freshwater pearls have an excellent luster; very sharp with high rate of reflection.
• Freshwater pearls can be round or irregular in their shapes and exhibit unusual colors.
• Low Blemish rates less than 20% on each pearl surface.
• Slight egg or oval-ish shape to some of the pearls upon close inspection.
• New, intense colors and metallic overtones make the Freshwater Pearl a trendy and colorful way to wear a timeless classic with a modern twist.  
• True round-shaped Freshwater pearls, while a major goal of pearl farmers everywhere, remain a tiny percentage of each yearly harvest – less than 3% - and are a MAJOR factor in determining a pearl’s overall quality grade.
• New and improved color treatments are creating very unique and wonderful hues to suit anyones taste.
