Freshwater pearls are best known for their irregular and smaller shapes, which lend them their typical character and originality.
Freshwater pearl jewelry is made from cultured freshwater pearls mostly from different species of freshwater mollusk/mussels in a lake, pond or river. They are quite similar in look to the Akoya pearls necklace, but are relatively less expensive because they are generally smaller and geometrically less symmetrical.
At Classical Pearls Jewelry, you will get the best quality roundest freshwater pearls available, all of which are nacre and display an elegant inner radiance. Our freshwater pearl necklaces and earrings are truly eternal and classic, offering to all customers the best affordable option for pearl jewelry in terms of quality, style and price. Another advantage of Freshwater pearls is their natural durability, which naturally resists chipping, degeneration, and wear, unlike the more delicate Akoya pearls.
For all those women who look for ethereal beauty in pearls earring, but are unable to buy because of they being highly priced, freshwater pearls are the least expensive, while remaining quite attractive.
A Freshwater pearl is produced when twenty or more tiny tissue implants are inserted into the thick mantle of a living mussel. Depending on the species and size of the mussel, different types, sizes and colours of the resulting pearl jewelry will be produced. These pearls can range from unusual, grainy-surfaced pearls, with a mid-level luster. The size can also vary from about the size of a rice grain to a mid sized one. The total time taken by a mussel to form a pearl can range anything between two to six years, with each mussel producing up to even fifty pearls.
