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 – lends an organic, natural character to this strand. The pure white and gentle nacreous luster make it a versatile material for classic and modern jewelry.

Significant countries of origin: China, Japan, USA.
