Freshwater Pearls are the most popular pearl variety and are produced only in China. They are usually grown in large ponds by tetragon shell mussels, or Hyriopsis cumingii. The freshwater pearls are beautiful and shiny, and can be very expensive. The size and luster of a freshwater pearl will determine how much it is worth. Depending on the quality, the size of a Freshwater Pearl can be as small as two millimeters.
Although freshwater pearls are not as round as saltwater ones, their prices are lower. Over the last two decades, the quality of freshwater pearls has improved. In the mid-1990s, the pearl-farming industry changed the type of mussels it used and lowered the number of grafts. These changes resulted in an increase in the number of pearls produced. Jewelry designers love the lower price and improved quality of freshwater pearls.
The freshwater pearl size varies widely. The most popular sizes range from 2.0 to 3.0 mm and up to one to twelve millimeters. In rare cases, they are larger. Most freshwater pearls fall within the 7.0-8.0 mm range, but the nine- to 9.5-mm range is the most popular range. A few small Chinese companies began making freshwater necklaces and earrings in the 1970s and their influence has grown exponentially since then.
Color and shape are also important considerations in selecting the right pearl. Many varieties of Freshwater Pearl are available in an array of colors and shapes, and they are quite affordable. The variety of colors and shapes is another key factor in choosing the best pearl. If you want the best quality, look for a freshwater pearl that has a near-round shape. There is a wide variety of color and shape to choose from, and the price is attractive too.
There are no specific standards for freshwater pearls. There are two grading systems: AA and AAA. Each has its own unique characteristics and value. Generally, the AA variety is the most expensive of the two, but the AA grade is the most common. If you're looking for the best quality pearls, you'll find the most affordable options in Chinese stores. This is especially important for the quality of the AA-graded pearls.
Regardless of the type of pearl you choose, you will want to choose a pearl that fits your style. While there are many kinds of pearls, freshwater is the most popular. A few are round, whereas others are teardrop-shaped. You should choose the right pearl type based on your style, and your budget. You can also purchase a necklace or earrings with a different shape. If you're looking for an expensive piece of jewelry, you can find an affordable option.
In addition to a higher price, a Freshwater pearl is usually more affordable than a seawater pearl. A solid-nacre pearl has a nucleus that is free of mother of pearl. In contrast, a pearl that is a solid-nacre pearl has no nucleus. A solid-nacre pearl has nacre and is considered to be the highest quality. A large percentage of the freshwater pearl harvest has the true round shape, but the smallest percent of the yearly crop is not considered high enough to warrant this price.
