What Are Freshwater Pearls?

Freshwater pearls are natural pearls formed in freshwater mussels. Unlike saltwater pearls, which are produced in the ocean, freshwater pearls grow in rivers, lakes, and ponds. They’re renowned for their lustrous, smooth surface and wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Each pearl is unique, making every piece of jewelry that incorporates them a one-of-a-kind creation.

Mashni Jewelry's freshwater pearls are handpicked for their beauty and quality—we offer options in small round pearls, medium drop pearls, and large drop pearls, each carefully crafted to add elegance and sophistication to your collection.

The Meaning and Symbolism of Freshwater Pearls

Freshwater pearls have long been associated with purity, wisdom, and femininity. They symbolize harmony, balance, and transformation, making them a perfect fit for anyone seeking jewelry that aligns with their personal journey and growth. Here are a few meanings behind freshwater pearls:

Purity and Innocence: Pearls have been seen as symbols of purity, a reflection of one's inner light and clarity. Wearing freshwater pearls can remind you to stay grounded, true to yourself, and embrace your authentic beauty.

Wisdom and Knowledge: In many cultures, pearls are believed to bring wisdom and enhance one's understanding. The smooth surface of a pearl reflects the wisdom gained through life’s experiences.

Femininity and Empowerment: Pearls are often linked to femininity and grace, but they also represent strength. Just as pearls are formed through years of growth within the shell, they embody the journey of self-empowerment and transformation.

Each piece from the Mashni Jewelry freshwater pearls collection is more than just a beautiful accessory—it carries a message of empowerment, strength, and inner beauty.

Caring for Your Freshwater Pearls

While Mashni Jewelry's freshwater pearls are set in 14k solid gold, which will never tarnish, it's important to remember that pearls require some special care. Pearls are organic gems and can be more delicate than other gemstones, so they should be treated with care to ensure they last a lifetime.

Avoid Water Exposure: Pearls can absorb moisture, so it’s important to remove your pearl jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that may expose them to water. While the solid gold settings are durable and will never tarnish, moisture can affect the pearl’s surface and diminish its natural luster over time.

Store Properly: Keep your pearls in a soft pouch or jewelry box to avoid scratches and damage. If you're storing them long-term, avoid placing them near other jewelry that may cause friction.

Clean Gently: To clean your pearls, use a soft cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or oils. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners, as they can damage the pearl’s surface. Pearls are best cleaned with a gentle, non-abrasive cloth after each wear.

By caring for your freshwater pearls properly, you’ll ensure that they continue to radiate their natural beauty for years to come.
