4A 6-12mm Purple Color freshwater edison pearls

Freshwater pearls are a type of cultured pearl that is cultivated in freshwater bodies such as lakes, rivers, and ponds, primarily in China. Unlike saltwater pearls, which grow in oysters, freshwater pearls are produced by mussels. These pearls are known for their range of shapes, sizes, and colors, including white, pink, peach, and lavender. The cultivation process involves implanting a small piece of mantle tissue into the mussel, which then secretes layers of nacre around the irritant over time, forming a pearl. Freshwater pearls are highly valued for their luster and affordability compared to their saltwater counterparts. Their versatility makes them popular in various types of jewelry, from necklaces to earrings.
