Get Looks With Freshwater Pearl Jewelry

Freshwater pearls are cultured pearls which generally cost less than sea water cultured pearls (Akoya) and natural pearls. This is because less cultured freshwater pearls turn up as well rounded and lustrous as Akoya pearls. But just because they’re smaller or imperfectly rounded doesn’t mean they’re less attractive. When you strand them the right way, they can be equally beautiful fashion pieces.

Go for smaller pearls
When you’re handling imperfect freshwater pearls, it’s best to purchase smaller pearls of about the same size. Multiple bands of tiny freshwater cultured pearls are attractive in any color. You can purchase these loose pearls by strands in wholesale deals, and they’d sit beautifully with your sea water pearl collection.

Make the uniqueness work
If you happen to chance upon a blister freshwater pearl in the market (a piece that remained attached to the oyster’s shell), don’t throw out the purchase possibility too quickly out the window. Most of these unusual pearl pieces make for great pendants, given that they’re the right size.

Classier term for “imperfect”?
Imperfect pearls are also referred to as baroque pearls. They range from off-round to rice shaped pearls, and are cultivated in most freshwater lakes in Japan. The typical sizes of baroque freshwater pearls are between 7mm to 8mm. However, the pieces can be as small as 2mm or as big as 16mm, depending on the circumstances of the oysters.

Cultured, not synthetic
Imperfections per se are not a sure guarantee that the pearl pieces you are purchasing are not synthetic or fake. Most jewelers also trade glass and plastic beads which are treated to look like cultured pearl pieces. However, these synthetic pieces are not as valuable as authentic cultured pieces. To make sure that you’re not being cheated off your money, ask the dealer to scrape off the surface of the pearl with his/her knife. If the scraped surface produces powdery debris, the pearl is authentic. If the scraping causes the paint to peel off, the piece is definitely synthetic.
