Frequently Asked Questions

How do freshwater pearls differ from saltwater pearls?

Freshwater pearls are cultivated in freshwater environments and typically have a higher nacre thickness, making them durable and long-lasting. They come in more varied shapes and colors than saltwater pearls, and are generally more affordable. Saltwater pearls, like Akoya or Tahitian varieties, tend to have more uniform shapes and lustrous qualities, but at a premium price point.

How should I care for my freshwater pearl jewelry?

Freshwater pearls are delicate and require gentle care. Clean them with a soft, damp cloth after wearing to remove oils and perspiration. Store them separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching, preferably in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box. Avoid exposing pearls to extreme heat, direct sunlight, or harsh chemicals. Regular professional cleaning is recommended for heavily-worn pieces.

Are freshwater pearls good for engagement rings?

While freshwater pearls are beautiful, they're typically softer than diamonds and may not be ideal for daily engagement ring wear. However, they make stunning secondary stones in designs or perfect choices for fashion rings and special occasion jewelry. If you love the look of pearl engagement rings, consider pairing a freshwater pearl with protective settings or reserve it for less-frequent wear.
