About our Freshwater Pearls
Lotus collection specialises in buying freshwater pearls from the Chinese cultured pearl industry as they offer the best value for money.
Our freshwater pearls are top quality and offer outstanding lustre, durability and value.
Freshwater pearls are cultured with tissue grafting. Small tissue slices from another mollusc are inserted into the oyster to yield pearls. The mollusc forms nacre around this alien tissue to protect itself, and so a pearl is formed…
Because of the absence of a bead nucleus, round freshwater pearls are rare. The size of the pearl reflects how long it has been cultured. The quality of freshwater pearls from China has been steadily improving and now there is a huge range of qualities and prices available. Freshwater pearls occur in colours of natural, peach, lavender, pink and white. Top quality dyed freshwater pearls in shades of gold, green, silver, and black are also available.

Lotus collection will always endeavour to supply pearls as close as possible to the colours shown here on this website. Please be aware that Freshwater pearls are a natural product, and as our jewellery is handmade minor variations may occur.
