Freshwater pearls are exquisite gemstones formed within freshwater mollusks, primarily mussels, in rivers, lakes, and ponds. Unlike their saltwater counterparts, which are cultivated in the ocean, freshwater pearls are known for their unique shapes, sizes, and natural luster. They come in a variety of colors, including white, pink, lavender, and even more exotic shades like gold and black, making them incredibly versatile for jewelry design.
