| Most Freshwater pearls come from China,
and are the product of an elaborate process in which a
single resilient mussel can be harvested many times, yielding
several pearls at a time. To provide these pearls at an
exceptional value, we offer them with good levels of quality,
and set with 14k gold posts and clasps.
The Freshwater pearl looks remarkably similar to the
Akoya pearl, but Freshwater pearls are available for
almost 1/5 the price of Akoya pearls. The only tradeoff
is that Freshwater pearls are generally smaller, less
symmetrical, and not as well matched when strung on
a strand. But if you're looking for pearls at an outstanding
value, Freshwater pearls are the perfect gift.
