Freshwater Pearl Necklaces

Freshwater pearl necklaces offer one of the broadest ranges of pearl shapes, colors and necklace constructions.

Compare Freshwater necklace rows, shapes and materials

Beyond the classic single strand below, compare how the number of rows, pearl shape and fastening change a necklace. Pearl diameter and necklace length describe different measurements.

Two rows of round pearls: 8–9mm white Freshwater double-strand necklace — good luster, a box clasp and AKWAYA's AAA seller grade. Choose the listed 17-, 18- or 20-inch option and 14K white or yellow gold; these are selectable variants.
A fixed three-row arrangement: 6.5–7.5mm white Freshwater three-row necklace — potato-shaped pearls with good luster, moderate surface blemishing and good matching. The rows measure approximately 16.5, 17 and 18 inches within one necklace, with a rhodium-plated base-metal box clasp.
Oval pearls with leather: 12–13mm white Freshwater pearl leather necklace — medium luster and a coin-pearl toggle fastening. Select a 16-, 18- or 20-inch necklace; compare the larger oval pearls with the smaller pearls in the multi-row examples.

Use the Pearl Shape Guide for round, oval and potato terminology, and the Pearl Care Guide for cleaning and storage. For other pearl types, browse all Pearl Necklaces. Check the selected variant, current availability and included components before ordering.

8–9mm white Freshwater pearl necklace

For a classic white strand, compare the 8–9mm white Freshwater cultured pearl necklace, 18-inch princess length. Its current product specifications list semi-round white cultured pearls, high luster, very light surface blemishing, very good matching, double-knotted silk stringing and a 14K yellow gold fishhook clasp.

How to choose a Freshwater pearl necklace

Shape and style: rounder pearls create a more traditional strand, while oval, drop and baroque pearls emphasize texture and individuality.
Size: pearl diameter changes both visual scale and the overall feel of a strand. Use the Pearl Size Guide to compare millimeter sizes.
Color: Freshwater jewelry can appear in white, cream, champagne, pink, lavender, peach and treated fashion colors. Check each product’s stated color rather than relying only on a collection photo.
Length, clasp and quality: verify necklace length and clasp details, then compare luster, surface, shape and matching with the Pearl Grading Guide.
