    Freshwater pearls versus saltwater pearls

    Almost all pearls are cultured; that means that people start the growth process of the pearl manually, a pearl that originated in nature is rare and therefore more expensive. The beauty of the pearls depends almost entirely on the mussel in which they grow.

    The saltwater pearl is much more expensive than a freshwater pearl and this has to do with the growth process. With saltwater pearls, one or two pearls grow per oyster, with freshwater pearls, up to 40 pearls can grow in one oyster.

    Freshwater pearls are grown in China, Indonesia, Japan and the US, among others. Freshwater pearls consist of solid mother-of-pearl, the natural colours of the freshwater pearl are ivory white, salmon pink, lavender pink and light grey.

    The origin and meaning of baroque pearls

    Baroque pearls are pearls that have an imperfect or non-spherical shape, the pearls are irregularly shaped and each pearl is unique. They come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colours and can be used to create modern pearl jewelry. These beautifully shiny natural gemstones are more common in fresh water than salt water, the word 'baroque' is a reference to the shape of the pearl and the name is taken from the French word 'baroque' meaning irregular shape.

    How are freshwater pearls grown?

    Cultured pearls are formed when a core, such as a small piece of shell, is inserted into the oyster's muscle to start the process. The oyster secretes thin layers of mother-of-pearl that coat the core and build up over time to create the pearl. Many people think that a grain of sand starts this process, but this is not the case. That is why natural pearls, formed without human intervention, are quite rare.

    How do you keep pearls beautiful?

    You can keep the pearls beautiful by wearing them often! Pearls absorb fat from the skin and moisture from the air, so they do not dry out and they shine beautifully. However, watch out with chemical substances, such as perfume, hair spray, soap and care products, pearls cannot withstand those; so put them on after make-up and hairstyling, and take them off before showering, exercising and sleeping.

    And after wearing it is best to wipe the pearls with a clean cotton cloth. With natural pearls the colour may differ; these colour variations are part of the effect of freshwater pearls and that also makes them unique.
