TO THE WORLD OF PEARLS
 
Characteristics of Freshwater Pearls 


Color, shape, durability and luster are among the desirable characteristics of freshwater pearls. Colors range from silver, white, bronze, green, and blue. The most common freshwater pearl color is white, but pink, rose and lavender are the most desired. Colors form as a result of the genetics and species of the mussel, as well as the quality of the water and the position of the pearl within the shell. The pearls are composed of solid nacre, which makes them durable. While other kinds of pearls may have more luster, freshwater pearls are shiny and occur with interesting shapes.

 ♥Pearls symbolize truth, loyalty, honesty, wisdom and sincerity♥

I just started incorporating Fresh Water Pearls to my Swaroski and Lampwork Bead Creations. 

I recently found through dealing with Brides and Bridesmaids that they really want Pearls added to the Creations that I design for them. 

The most popular are of course White -- but I also design with Pink and Blue Fresh Water Pearls -- below are some examples of the Pearls I use♥
