Freshwater pearls are cultivated in mussels in rivers and lakes – mainly 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 Rice-mini shape – a particularly fine variation of the elongated rice grain shape – lends this strand a delicate, flowing elegance. The tiny 2.5 x 4 mm pearls in pure white are ideal for the most delicate necklaces, multi-row combinations, and as accent pearls in designer jewelry.

Major countries of origin: China, Japan, USA.
