Definition freshwater pearls

:

Freshwater pearls are produced by mussels and oysters that live in rivers, lakes or ponds. The majority of available freshwater pearls are cultivated; high quality natural specimens are rare and almost non-existent.

Traditional pearl cultivation involves first inserting a bead nucleus, then a piece of mantle tissue, inside a mollusk. Not long after this method began, pearl farmers discovered, quite accidentally, that nacre could form around mantle tissue without the presence of a bead nucleus. Leaving out the bead nucleus made the process easier and soon, this became an accepted means of production. Most freshwater pearls are nucleated only with a small piece of mantle tissue, although great strides have been made in recent years to produce bead-nucleated freshwater pearls.

Shapes of freshwater pearls without nucleus are largely left to chance. Depending on their position and the length of time they are left in the mussels, they will tend to be either oval-drop-barrel or lentil-button-flat.

Flat shell nuclei are used to cultivate coin pearls, and round shell beads are also used in freshwater pearl cultivation, but to date rounder pearls can be made without nucleus than with.

Mussels produce nacre at a more rapid rate than ocean pearl “oysters” leading to extravagantly baroque pearls that are only available in freshwater.

China has dominated the freshwater pearl industry since the 1970s, and the fierce competition there has led to constant innovation to create new and different varieties.

Definition second harvest

:

A new type of freshwater “Keshi” pearl is the result of a second harvest.

In some cases, the pearls are harvested delicately, while care is taken not to sacrifice the living mollusk. Then, the live mollusk is returned to the pearl farm and allowed to grow a second harvest of pearls. The original pearl sac is filled with a nacre secretion and second harvest is born.
