Fresh Water Pearls – The Only 100% Cultured Pearls
The reason that natural saltwater pearls are rare and super expensive compared to the cultured ones is because cultured saltwater pearls have a big nuclear bead inside. Which means that more than half of the pearl is artificially made.
Fresh water pearls comprise of 90% of the world wide pearls market. They have never been so easily assessable in the past. In the present days, we see these pearls are readily available in the market, almost all over the world, however, the main cultivators or producers are USA, Japan and China. Having a variety of colors and forms, they are the most popular cultivated or cultured pearls.
Conventional pearl agriculture entails initially inducing a bead core, then a bit of mantle tissue, in a mollusk. Not long after this technique was invented, pearl farmers discovered, quite accidentally, that nacre (NAY-ker) could form around mantle tissue without the presence of a bead nucleus. Leaving out the bead nucleus made the process easier and soon, this became an accepted means of production. Most freshwater pearls are nucleated only with a small piece of mantle tissue, although great strides have been made in recent years to produce non-bead nucleated freshwater pearls.
Due to this invention of farming the Fresh Water Pearls without a nucleus or a bead, we can easily find the pearls to be one hundred percent original without a core. This increases the value of a pearl and also gives the pearl a natural look and shape. The fresh water pearls are found in the most versatile variety of the pearls with a wide range of colors and textures having variable sizes and shapes.
