Freshwater pearls are known to represent innocence. Soft pink pearls make up this classic and elegant baby bracelet perfect for any occasion. The cross charm would make this a perfect baptism or christening bracelet. The pearls in this bracelet measure 3.5mm-4mm. Womens sizes are available as well.
Freshwater pearls are cultured in freshwater mussels, mostly in China. They are much smaller and less expensive to harvest than saltwater pearls. One mussel can yield more than twenty or more pearls in each harvest.
Cultured and natural pearls will feel slightly rough against a tooth, like fine sandpaper, because of the texture of natural nacre. Imitation pearls will feel as smooth as glass because the surface is molded or painted on a smooth bead.
