What are Freshwater Pearls? 淡水珍珠
Freshwater pearls are as the name suggets, pearls which form in freshwater environments. Freshwater makes up around 3% of all the world's water, and is essentially water that isn't salty - think lakes, rives, glaciers and more. Peals that form in mollusks in these environments are called Freshwater Pearls.
Freshwater pearls are the most commonly produced types of pearls, and are a favorite with jewelry designers and collectors alike. The unique shapes and colors they produce make them a dazzling addition to any jewelry box.
Pearl Color
Classic pearl color is often thought of as white or cream, but the rich palettes in Mother Nature are far too whimsical to end there. Besides, if you haven’t noticed, she likes to show off her beauty in spectacular fashion. This is especially true for the gorgeous shades of many saltwater varieties and some freshwater as well.
Different regions which dictate the type of pearl are known for producing pearls of a particular color. Specific species of oysters used to cultivate in these areas are what influence a pearl’s color. More specifically, the color of the oyster’s lip, a portion of the outer shell, and the microscopic pigments in the protein layers of conchiolin.
The History of Pearls
It is no secret that pearl jewelry has been loved for generations. Pearls have been used as gifts and in jewelry by ancient Chinese Royalty, The Romans, and have even been found in the sarcophagus of a Persian princess. Pearls became more widely available when a way of creating them was discovered in 1893. Since then, freshwater pearls have been widely included in jewelry and fashion.
Where do Freshwater Pearls Come From?
Freshwater Pearls come form mollusks (animals such as an oyster, mussel, or clam) in freshwater environments. Pearls form when an irritant works its way into a particular species of these mollusks. The mollusks then secretes a liquid around the irritant, which could be a grain if sand. Over many years, layers of this liquid coating are deposited on the irritant, and eventually a pearl is formed.
These gemstones can form naturally in water environments, as well as be made intentionally in a more controlled environment. Natural pearls are more rare, and often are more valuable than cultured pearls.
