Freshwater Pearl Jewelry

ABOUT PEARLS

All pearls, natural or cultured, may be divided into saltwater and freshwater types. Saltwater pearls are created by oysters, freshwater pearls by mussels.

Pearls are created when an irritant enters the shell of the oyster or mussel. The mollusk surrounds the foreign object with layer after layer of calcium carbonate bonded by protein -a combination known as mother-of-pearl or nacre. The crystalline layers refract light, creating the pearl's lustre. Naturally occurring pearls are very rare and therefore highly prized. The vast majority of pearls on the market are cultured, meaning their creation was assisted by man.
