Freshwater pearls are cheaper because they are easier to extract, making sea pearls more valued. Why? Sea pearls are larger, more beautiful in shape, luster, smoother surface and, of course, much more expensive than freshwater pearls.

YES! Freshwater pearls are just as real as saltwater pearls, as long as they come from a pearl oyster. The only difference is that freshwater pearls aren't as expensive as saltwater ones because the latter are more difficult to find and process.

Freshwater pearls have their own unique charm and can be equally valuable, especially when they possess exceptional luster, size, shape, and color. The value of a pearl depends on a combination of factors, and both freshwater and saltwater pearls can be highly prized.

Small pearls, between 6 and 7 mm, have a more delicate feel, and they are the perfect accessory for women who prefer subtle, dainty earrings. This size is the most versatile, you can count on it for every occasion. Pearls between 7 and 8 mm are viewed as iconic and they are the most classic for pearl stud earrings.
