Freshwater pearls

One of the most popular and common sets of the time freshwater pearls in today's design jewellery. Baroque pearls are characterized by their irregular and non-spherical shape. This means that you will get a very special expression in your jewelery if you choose to mix it with either the smaller or large baroque freshwater pearls.

You will not find two baroque freshwater pearls that are alike in expression. which is also why they are some of the trendiest pearls in these times when it's all about standing out.

Keshi ferskvandsperler er en anden type af ferskvandsperler, som er kendetegnet ved deres utrolige glans. 

I udseende og form kan den minde lidt om de barokke ferskvandsperler, men der hvor en keshi ferskvandsperle skiller sig ud, er ved den ekstraordinære glans som hver enkelte perle besidder. 

Et andet punkt hvor keshi ferskvandsperler er anderledes end de andre, er at de ofte produceres ved et tilfælde. Ofte er perler kultiveret, hvilket betyder at mennesker har haft en hånd med ind over produktionen af ferskvandsperlerne. I keshi ferskvandsperlers tilfælde, har mennesker ikke været inde og indsætte bløddyrs væv i muslingen. Her dannes ferskvandsperlerne ved et “uheld”, hvilket betyder at der ikke er indsat noget i muslingen som skal kickstarte perle produktionsprocessen. 

This type of freshwater pearls are the ancestors of what we know today as freshwater pearls. For decades, freshwater pearls were called biwa pearls, due to the fact that the legendary Kokichi Mikimoto perfected freshwater pearl production and then got almost the exclusive right to distribute biwa freshwater pearls to the whole world.

When you buy biwa baroque pearls today, you are buying freshwater pearls produced in Lake Biwa, which is located in Japan. This is the characteristic for biwa freshwater pearls. They are the ancestors of today's freshwater pearl designation and various forms of biwa pearls are still produced.

What makes it unique is that biwa freshwater pearls are only produced in Lake Biwa in Japan.
