Definition: Mississippi River Pearls are esteemed for their distinct characteristics and origins, being one of the few pearls collected from freshwater mussels in the Mississippi River. Unlike the more common cultured pearls, Mississippi River Pearls are natural, which makes them rare and often more valuable. They exhibit a wide array of shapes—from perfectly round to baroque—and colors, including white, lavender, and pink, to deeper tones of gold and purple. This variety, along with their American heritage, makes them uniquely appealing in the crafting of fine jewelry. As natural pearls, their availability is limited, further enhancing their allure and value among collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike.
