Loose Freshwater pearls are available in a wide
variety of shapes, colors, and sizes (from 3mm up to 12mm).
Freshwater mollusks inserted with a piece of mantle tissue
form these stunning gems ranging from milky white to deep pastels. Produced in great abundance,
loose freshwater pearls are the most affordable among all other cultured pearl varities. Jewelers enjoy freshwater
pearls because they lend themselves to creating unique and imaginative jewelry.
Care for loose Freshwater Pearls:
- Dirt and oil from your skin can corrode the nacre. To prevent this, wipe pearls with a damp
cloth often.
- Do not keep loose freshwater pearls in an air tight container. 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 freshwater pearls.
- Only wear freshwater pearl jewelry when you are done applying makeup or perfume. These products can eat
holes in the nacre.
- Do not wear freshwater pearls when the string is wet- this will attract dirt that is difficult to remove.
- If worn regularly, restring freshwater pearls once a year.
Loose freshwater pearls are a terrific way to spruce up any jewelry collection, and they can either be hand strung or you can have a jeweler string them for a nomianal fee. Browse our growing collection of pearl jewelry today!
