Why are pearls so expensive?
ladies of the lake . . .
pearl perfection
Almost nothing can compare to the unusual beauty of pearls grown in freshwater lakes, rivers and streams! They are unlike their sisters - Akoya, Tahitian, and South Sea - grown in saltwater oceans.
Freshwater pearls have distinctive natural colors. And, they are definitely not your "mother's" traditional round pearls since they boast baroque and freeform shapes like small sculptures. These "lovelies" also come in sizes from petite to majestic XL. You will find various types of freshwater pearls to choose from in my collections.
For more general information on pearls and their cultivation scroll down to the video below.
