One of the most of the commonly asked questions relates to why the Freshwater Pearl is so affordable compared to other varieties of Cultured Pearls.   There are several factors that contribute to the price; here are a few simple ways to understand why high quality Freshwater Pearls are such a great value:

• Multiple pearls per mollusk dramatically lowers the cost of production.
• There is no costly mother-of-pearl bead used in the nucleation process.
• The widest range of naturally occurring shapes creates a range of prices
• Spectacular recent harvests have created a large supply of Freshwater Pearls.
• Freshwater Farmers’ desire to establish these pearls within the world market creates an environment for more affordable sales.
