Freshwater Pearl Necklaces

Freshwater pearl necklaces are characterized by the great variety of shapes, colors, sizes, and affordability. Freshwater pearls are created from a piece of mantle tissue inserted in a freswater mollusk creating a pearl that is nearly 100% nacre.

Freshwater pearl necklaces are extrememly affordable largely due to the fact that freshwater mollusks produce high yield harvests. To care for your freshwater pearls:

• Dirt and oil from your skin can corrode the nacre. To prevent this, wipe freshwater pearls with a damp cloth often.
• Do not keep pearls in an air tight container. Freshwater pearls will crack if there is insufficient moisture. Always include a damp cloth when storing your pearl jewelry.
• Use only mild soap or acetone. Never use jewelry cleaner with ammonia or vinegar.
• Only wear pearl jewelry when you are done applying makeup or perfume. These products can eat holes in the nacre.
• Do not wear pearls when the string is wet- this will attract dirt that is difficult to remove.
• If worn regularly, restring pearls once a year.
