Freshwater pearls are cultured in mollusks, rather than oysters, in freshwater lakes and rivers throughout China and Japan. These special pearls appear in a wide variety of shapes and natural colors, and they are usually less expensive than saltwater pearls, which makes them very popular with both jewelry designers and pearl lovers. Because freshwater pearls have a solid nacre, they are also quite durable, and should resist chipping, wear, and degeneration.
The Chinese have recently been able to take the art of creating cultured freshwater pearls to new levels. Some freshwater pearls now have luster equivalent to high grade Akoya pearls, an almost perfectly round shape, and they can now have colors as exotic as Tahitian pearls and sizes as large as South Sea pearls.
