Description:
Freshwater pearls are generated by implanting a tiny mantle piece or some other tissue in the mussel. The nacre doesn't have to be a perfectly round nucleus and therefore it is less likely to be a round one when harvested. Natural pearls are usually irregular in shape.
It is much easier to produce freshwater based pearls as each of the oyster can be implanted many times and has a capacity to produce about 30-40 pearls.Though mostly white in color, freshwater pearls also come in rose, lavender, purples and pink colors too. As these colors are rare so they are expensive too! Actually these different colors occur due to the variety in mussel species, genetics, quality of water and actual position of pearl in a mussel shell. Naturally black colored pearls are valued highly due to their rarity as their output volume is very less. Today the black freshwater pearls in the market are mostly dyed in color unless stated otherwise. They are highly coveted since they were worn by Empress Eugenie of France in the middle of 19'th century.
The most appreciated and stunning attribute of these types are their incredible radiant and breathtaking natural colours offered. The "Pastel" natural colours found in these are not found in saltwater varieties. Their pastel colour palettes include hues such as lavender, peach, pink, cream, white and few other colours. One of the most popular ones used in jewellery today are the pink - peach freshwater natural colour pearls and lavender.
