Simplistic, timeless, elegant and refined, pearls have been a go to for hi-end fashion houses, the rich and the famous, for decades. Often seen by many, as a sign of prosperity and status, their popularity waned for a brief period, seeing a massive upsurge in popularity, as the world once again appreciates the eternal beauty only a pearl can possess.

Freshwater pearls, as opposed to saltwater pearls, which are grown in oysters, are the princes and princesses of mussels. Mussels like oysters, create a beautiful variety of pearls, with thick layers of nacre. Varieties include baroque, fireball, teardrop, rice, potato, ring, biwa, Keshi and round, all of which refer to there shape and size.

Freshwater pearls, similar to their extremely expensive, salt water cousins, come in a variety of shades, however unlike their cousins, whose price has rocketed since many of the oysters escaped during Covid,  as they were not able to maintain their habitats, and the emergence of a newly identified virus, which has decimated production in the Akoya Oyster stocks. 

Now seen as a unisex commodity - with men as well as women, of all ages, are recognising their beauty, salt-water and fresh-water pearls are now appreciated by all.
