Freshwater Pearl
In today's discussion, we'll focus on Freshwater Pearls, which are often considered part of the gemstone bead family due to their widespread use in jewelry design alongside other gemstones.
Freshwater Pearls have a long-standing presence in the U.S. market, with their popularity beginning around 20 years ago.
Primarily farmed in China, these pearls have been cherished for their diverse colors, varied shapes, and affordability.
However, in the past decade, the price of Freshwater Pearls has significantly increased, in some cases even doubling.
This price surge is attributed to local government policies aimed at reducing Freshwater Pearl farming due to its potential environmental impact.
As a result, Freshwater Pearls are no longer as budget-friendly as they once were, and certain shapes that used to be affordable, such as Keshi, Biwa, and Coin Pearls, have become a lot more expensive.
Despite the price hike, there remains a strong demand for Freshwater Pearls.
However, the increased cost may lead to a decline in their usage.
In comparison to other types of pearls, such as Japanese Akoya Pearls and South Sea Pearls, which are significantly more expensive, Freshwater Pearls still offer a more affordable option.
Among Freshwater Pearls, the natural white and beige colors are purely natural.
There are also two other natural colors: orange and lavender.
Beyond these, any additional colors are achieved through dyeing or laser
