Ivory Pearls

White freshwater pearls, like their pink counterparts, originate from freshwater mussels. These mussels are cultivated in rivers, lakes, and ponds across various regions worldwide, including Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand and the United States. Unlike saltwater pearls, which form in oysters, freshwater pearls develop when a small irritant is inserted into a mussel, triggering the deposition of nacre around it over time.

White freshwater pearls are highly valued for several reasons. Firstly, their purity and luster evoke a timeless elegance, making them a classic choice for jewelry. Additionally, the cultivation process for freshwater pearls requires meticulous care and attention, contributing to their scarcity and value. Each pearl's unique size, shape, and luster further enhance its desirability, as no two pearls are identical.
