Facts about freshwater pearls - Natural freshwater pearls occur in mussels for the same reason saltwater pearls occur in oysters. To cultivate a pearl, the farmer slits the mussel and inserts a small piece of live tissue form another mussel. Foreign matter inside a mussel cannot be expelled. To reduce irritation, the mollusk coats the intruder with the same secretion it uses for shell-building, nacre.
Being an organic gem, grooves, pits or dents are expected. Very common are the natural lines which form around the pearl. These are known as "love lines". Even in strands of jewellery you cvan have unique pearls that don't match and are beautiful pieces in their own right. Freshwater pearls are popular for their colours, white,silver white, pink, red, copper, brown, lavender, purple, green, blue and yellow. The most popular are the whites, pastel pinks, roses, lavender and purples. Colour comes from the mussel species and water quality. Generally pearls assume the colour of the shell in which they form, but permanent dyes are used today for some colours. Freshwater pearls come in many shapes and the most rarest pearl shape is the round as it is the most difficult to cultivate. Other shapes include, drop, button. oval, Baroque and circled. Almost all of the pearl earrings I have on sale are known as button which means it has a flat back and round front
