What is the difference between fresh & saltwater pearls?
Saltwater pearls are grown in oceans. They are created in oysters and include Akoya, found in places such as Japan, China, Vietnam, etc., South Sea pearls, and Tahitian pearls found in waters of French Polynesia. Freshwater pearls are created in mussels in lakes and rivers and today come mostly from China.

The price of pearls depends on where they are grown; freshwater (freshwater pearls are cheaper) or saltwater plus shape, color, luster and surface quality. High quality pearls are free of discolorations, scratches, cracks or chips. The most highly valued shape is perfectly round. Matched strands of pearls are more expensive than graduated or multicolored necklaces. This is true because it is almost impossible to find pearls that are alike in color,size, shape and luster.
