Freshwater pearls are cultivated in mussels in rivers and lakes – primarily in China, which is now the world's largest producer. Unlike saltwater pearls, freshwater pearls consist almost entirely of mother-of-pearl, which gives them a particularly dense, beautifully shimmering surface. The fancy shapes of this strand are deliberately irregular – each pearl is unique in shape and size. The warm salmon color and organic contours make this strand an expressive material for individual, feminine pieces of jewelry.

Major countries of origin: China, Japan, USA.
