Freshwater pearls are organic gemstones formed within freshwater mollusks, primarily mussels and clams. Unlike their saltwater counterparts, they are cultivated in rivers, lakes, and ponds. Freshwater pearls come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, including white, pink, and lavender, making them popular in jewelry. These pearls are typically more affordable than saltwater pearls due to their abundance and the shorter cultivation period. Freshwater pearls are often used in necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, valued for their unique luster and natural beauty. They are a favorite choice for both casual and formal wear.
