Biwa Pearl Earrings
The freshwater pearls occur in mussels that live in rivers and freshwater lakes. One of the most popular freshwater cultured pearl is the pearl Biwa, which is named after Lake Biwa in Japan and is one of the finest and most beautiful freshwater pearls. It produces oval, barrel and currency. The term "Biwa" should apply only to pearls originating in that lake, but is used indiscriminately to indicate any fresh water pearl, as there was a time when Lake Biwa is produced almost all freshwater pearls, and the name became generic. The main producers are the United States, Japan and China. The process used to produce them does not require a core shell; tissue grafts are used, and this facilitates mass production. Molluscum used is much larger than the one used to produce Akoya pearls. As a result a single mussel produces up to 50 pearls at once. The pearls produced and are usually small, elongated and not very expensive, and the grafted tissue as used are pure nacre. The freshwater pearls are very nice quality and offer very good value for what you pay for. They come in a variety of colors and shapes, including the well-known in the form of rice, and usually have a wrinkled surface, but also the surface can be very smooth. At present, the freshwater biwa pearl earrings is undergoing a change, and can be cultured freshwater round pearls in very limited production as a new technique that has not been disclosed enables the creation of these pearls. The result is a cultured freshwater pearl round, all nacre. China is the main producer of this type of pearls. Japan has begun to produce special pearls, far beyond exceptional and intense luster, clean surface, large and round in Lake Kasumiga, and therefore are called Kasumiga pearls, they are much more expensive and iridescent colors ranging from pink to reddish. . . . .
