Freshwater pearls are celebrated for their natural beauty and variety. Grown in freshwater mussels, they form from layers of nacre, giving them a soft, luminous glow. With a wide range of shapes, sizes, and delicate colours, every freshwater pearl is truly unique, making each strand stand out.
Size Range
Freshwater pearls range from 2mm to 15mm, with most between 5mm and 9mm, and come in a wide range of shapes.
