Freshwater pearls are gemstones formed naturally or through cultivation in freshwater sources like lakes, rivers, and ponds. Unlike saltwater pearls, which come from oysters in oceans, freshwater pearls are primarily produced by mussels. They are known for their incredible diversity in shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from classic white to shades of lavender, peach, and pink.
Key Characteristics:
Formation: They form when an irritant, such as a tiny bead or tissue, is inserted into the mussel, prompting it to secrete layers of nacre around the irritant, creating the pearl.
Shapes and Quality: Freshwater pearls are valued for their variety. They are often less round than saltwater pearls but exhibit beautiful luster and unique shapes like baroque or teardrop.
