The Origin of Freshwater Pearls: Unlike their saltwater counterparts, freshwater pearls are formed in mussels that inhabit lakes, rivers, and ponds. The process begins when a foreign object, such as a grain of sand or a piece of tissue, enters the mussel's shell. In response, the mussel secretes nacre—a combination of calcium carbonate and proteins—to coat the irritant, gradually forming layers that result in the creation of a luminous pearl.
Diversity in Shapes and Colors: One of the distinctive features of freshwater pearls is their diverse range of shapes and colors. While saltwater pearls often exhibit a more uniform round shape, freshwater pearls can be round, oval, button-shaped, or even irregular. The color spectrum is equally impressive, spanning from classic white and cream to pastel shades of pink, peach, lavender, and even striking metallic hues.

Their widespread availability makes them a perfect choice for those seeking a touch of luxury without breaking the bank.

Gently wipe them with a soft cloth after wearing to remove any traces of oils or perspiration. Store them separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches, and consider restringing them periodically to maintain their strength.
