Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls offer more variety in size, shape, and color than any other type of pearl. Perfectly formed and with a nacre layer which give them a mirror-like luster, Laguna Pearl’s AAA and AAAA-grade Freshwater pearls are the most affordable pearls around.
Colors, Shapes, and Sizes of Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls are available in a wider diversity of pearl shapes, colors, and sizes than any other pearls, making them a favorite with jewelry designers. You can find Freshwater pearl jewelry in almost any style from pearl strands and bracelets to earrings and single beautiful pearls in a pearl pendant or pearl ring.
In addition to traditional white pearls, cultured Freshwater pearls come in a range of natural pastel colors such as pink, peach, and cream. Pearl sizes range from 6 to 13mm, and the gems are available in round and off-round shapes.
At Laguna Pearl, we offer customizable options with our Freshwater pearls; you can choose from a variety of clasps for pearl strands, and rings, pendant necklaces, and earrings are available set in sterling silver or gold. Why not add a bit of sparkle and glamor and select a setting crusted with crystals?
How to Select Freshwater Pearls
When selecting Freshwater pearls, there are several essential elements to consider. Unless you’re buying multicolor pearls, Freshwater pearl strands and bracelets should have an even color and size. Pearls should always have a good luster and few, if any, visible imperfections. Remember that not all pearls need be round; baroque pearls and off-round pearls are equally desirable. Use our pearl grading guide to help you select the best pearls for your style and budget.
From Where do Freshwater Pearls Originate?
Most Freshwater pearls come from China, where they are cultivated on a large scale in rivers and lakes. Unlike sea oysters which tend to produce only one pearl at a time, mussels living in fresh water can produce several pearls at a time, and the same mussel can be harvested many times over its lifespan. The abundant way in which mussels produce Freshwater pearls, as well as the ease with which they produce a crop, contribute to the affordability of Freshwater pearls when compared to Akoya pearls or Golden South Sea Pearls.
