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 culture. Other shapes include, drop, button. oval, Baroque and circled
