Think of pearls and the image of divers in saltwater bays comes to mind. Ah, but there are also freshwater pearls that are just as magnificent.
Long a symbol of culture and class, pearls have been worn for centuries by wealthy women who wanted to show off their money and status. While pearls still hold some of this meaning today, there is a new class of pearls available that are affordable and accessible to nearly everyone. Freshwater pearls, in their many shapes, sizes and colors, can be worn by women young and old, and are both classic and hip in their looks. Pearls are no longer seen as jewelry that is just for the mature and dressed-up woman.
Freshwater pearls do not come from oysters, the way that saltwater pearls do – but they are created in much the same way that a saltwater cultured pearl is created. In both cases, an irritant is introduced into the mollusk (in the case of freshwater pearls, this is a mussel), which causes the mollusk to coat the foreign object with nacre. Nacre is the same material that mollusks and oysters use to build their shells. When a "natural" pearl is found in a freshwater mussel, it is usually because sand or a pebble was able to breach the shell, and became coated with nacre.
