Freshwater Pearls

Round, Oval, and Baroque Shapes

Round Freshwater pearls give jewelry a traditional look. Oval, button, drop, and baroque pearls show more of the material's natural variation and often feel less formal. Shape is only one part of quality; an attractive baroque pearl can have exceptional luster and character.

Understanding Freshwater Pearl Color

White is the easiest color to coordinate, but pink, peach, and lavender can add color without looking overpowering. Color varies with lighting and screens, so use the product photographs together with the written description. Any treatment should be disclosed in the product information.

Choosing a Style

A Freshwater pearl necklace gives the most classic effect. Stud earrings and pendants are simple choices for everyday wear, while station and baroque designs feel more relaxed. Whatever the style, put pearls on after cosmetics, wipe them after wear, and keep them away from steam and ultrasonic cleaners.
