Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls are cultivated in lakes or smaller rivers. No pearl is more versatile than this one. They are available in an incredible variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. Over the past 40 years, freshwater pearls have continuously surprised us. Numerous experiments and breeding methods have been tested on different shells. Traditionally, freshwater pearls were known for being produced without a nacre nucleus. These pearls, which grow without a nucleus, can be entirely composed of nacre. In their appearance, structure, and chemical composition, they resemble natural pearls more than any other cultured pearls. The history of freshwater cultured pearls parallels the early days of Akoya pearl farming in Japan.
