Freshwater pearls grow in mussels cultivated 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, giving them a particularly dense, beautifully shimmering surface. The large fancy pearls (10 x 20 mm) are deliberately irregularly shaped – each pearl is unique with its own silhouette. The pure white colour and expansive shapes make this strand a real eye-catcher for expressive statement necklaces and individual designer jewellery.

Major countries of origin: China, Japan, USA.
