Freshwater Pearls

Freshwater pearls are cultured pearls made by placing an irritant into a freshwater mollusc. The mollusc reacts by forming a layer of nacre, or mother of pearl, around the irritant. Over time it will lay down several layers of nacre to create a pearl.

Freshwater pearls can take up to six years to grow and come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. For more information see our About Freshwater Cultured Pearls page.

Although we have attempted to make the colours of the beads shown as representative as possible, slight variations will occur due to different screen interpretations.
