Are Fresh Water Pearls eco-friendly or green?

 

Pearls
Once one of the most highly valued commodities on the planet, the
freshwater pearl is now available to almost everyone. The catch phrase
in all we do should be , “is it a green product or green?”. You can
rest assured Freshwater pearls are. Rivers, streams and lakes are kept
clean so this ancient creature can grow breathtaking pearls to adorn
the most discerning palate.


The oyster is taken care of in a manner to assure that it lives a
normal healthy life span for the larger it grows; the larger the
pearls. Large pearls bring in more revenue. The cleaner the water; the
healthier the oyster and with this comes more beautiful, iridescent
luster and smooth blemish free nacre. In this manner pearl or oyster
farming encourages keeping the waterways clean and free of pollutants.


After the first crop of pearls is harvested from the oysters a pearl
sac or pocket is left in the oyster. It doesn't need to be seeded for
the oyster will now produce the very valuable and sought after Rose
Petal or Corn Flake Keishi pearl. A Keishi pearl is composed entirely
of nacre as no seeding has been done. After the Keishi is harvested
the oyster is now ready to grow to the truly spectacular 10mm to 12mm
pearls that are the reining divas of the pearl world. As this is the
sought after outcome, safely guarding the life span and health of the
oyster has now come full circle.


Through farming practices that bring premium harvest of the highest
quality pearls, one can witness this amazing gift of nature as a truly

green product. It is a renewable resource that keeps small independent

groups of individuals employed, keeps the waterways clean and assures

that the oysters producing this treasure of nature are carefully

tended indeed.

So relax and enjoy pearls in all their varied form. These gems of nature are an absolute delight to design with and gift some to yourself as the hues they come in compliment every skin tone.
