Freshwater cultured pearls come primarily from the U.S., Japan, and China, and are known for their extraordinary variety of color, shape, and size. Unlike other types of cultured pearls, freshwater pearls are cultivated in mussels that live in freshwater rivers and ponds. They are produced in far greater quantities than other cultured pearls and are consequently significantly less expensive. Their accessibility, combined with natural beauty, has made them highly popular around the world. A string of pearls has been a style staple for centuries. These timeless treasures can be passed from generation to generation.Pearls are the June birthstone. As anniversary gifts, pearls are traditionally given to honor the 30th year of marriage, although modern lists also recommend them for the 12th anniversary.Each pearl is unique, created by nature.
