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 nacre, which gives them a particularly dense, beautifully shimmering surface. The potato shape – named after its slightly irregular, naturally rounded silhouette – gives this strand an organic, natural character. At 8 mm, the pearls create a beautiful accent and are ideal for classic necklaces, bracelet combinations, and high-quality jewelry.

Major countries of origin: China, Japan, USA.
