While truly natural pearls are now extremely rare and mostly appear in vintage or auction pieces, nearly all pearls on today’s market—whether freshwater or saltwater—are cultured. Most cultured pearls have a nucleated bead, meaning a shell bead in the mollusk to shape the pearl. In contrast, tissue-nucleated freshwater pearls use a tiny piece of mantle tissue instead of a bead. As the tissue dissolves, the resulting pearl is entirely solid nacre, like the structure of natural pearls.This solid nacre composition boast a luster that outshines ordinary pearls, promising brilliance that lasts for years. Their depth of glow makes them especially appealing in elegant wedding jewelry and refined everyday styling.
