How Do You Find Freshwater Pearl Jewelry?
Grown in lakes and rivers, freshwater pearls are known for their irregular shapes, color and individual uniqueness. Affordable in price, they are characterized by size, shape, color and luster. Pearls are measured in millimeters. Freshwater pearls range in size from 6.5 mm to 20 mm. The larger the pearl or the more round it is, the more valuable it is.
