Over the years they have improved greatly from the irregular 'rice' pearls they used to be. Unlike saltwater oysters, freshwater mussels need much less ideal conditions and care. They are most often from small family farms and can grow in former rice fields. The mussels can also grow many pearls at a time compared to oysters who grow only 1. Freshwater pearls have a wide range of natural colors including white, yellow, pink, and purple Freshwater pearls have no bead nucleus. They are solid pearl nacre. That is why they have more irregular shapes. Like all pearls, they cannot be polished into a round shape. What you find is what you get. Only a very small percent of freshwater pearls are round or near round and  are good enough quality to be used in jewelry. A technician may have to sort through 10,000 peals to get enough with matching shape, size, color, and quality to make a single necklace. China, however, produces around 15,000 tons of unsorted pearls per year. Thus they can be a more affordable alternative to saltwater pearls. That said, a perfect freshwater pearl is still less than 1 in a million and will command a premium price. Make sure to check out our eBay store for other unique listings!
