WHERE ARE THEY MADE?
ABOUT OUR PEARLS
At Gem & Jade Co., we are proud to offer ethically sourced freshwater cultured pearls. Harvested from highly sustainable pearl farms, these pearls are as genuine as natural pearls. Sustainable pearl farming creates ideal conditions for mussels, allowing them to produce up to 50 freshwater pearls at a time and continue producing throughout their lifespan. In contrast, saltwater oysters typically produce only 1 to 2 pearls and are often killed and discarded after harvest. This sustainable method minimizes risks to the local ecosystem and ensures that the process is both safe and successful.
BAROQUE PEARLS
Baroque pearls are distinguished by their irregular, non-spherical shapes. Available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes, these unique pearls are ideal for creating distinctive and beautiful jewelry.
ROUND PEARLS
Traditionally, pearls are renowned for their perfectly round shapes. These classic pearls are celebrated for their smooth, symmetrical form and lustrous sheen, making them a timeless choice for elegant and refined jewelry.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
ROUND VS. BAROQUE
Both shapes of pearls are grown in freshwater mussels and come in a variety of colors and forms.
