Freshwater Baroque Pearls

Baroque pearls are the pearls that possess an irregular shape. They do not have a defined or a specific shape. The freshwater pearls are many a time baroque as these pearls are generally mantle tissue nucleated rather than bead nucleated. Hence, you will rarely find these pearls having a perfect spherical shape, but instead they will be oval or ovoid.

The Akoya pearls that are commonly known as the cultured saltwater pearls also can be baroque pearls. But here, the baroque shaped of an Akoya pearl is different from the freshwater baroque pearl. This difference is visible due to the fact that Akoya pearls are the bead nucleated pearls having a perfect spherical bead inside it. So, during the process, the harvested Akoya pearl changes into baroque and it has a small tail coming from the sharp point at the back of the round front. In other words, you call it as a tear drop shaped pearl.

The most valuable of all the baroque pearls are the Tahitian pearls as well as the South Sea pearls. No doubt, even these pearls are a variety of the cultured saltwater pearls; the time needed for the pearls to culture dramatically increases the nacre’s depth eventually, and thus increases the chances of producing the baroque pearls. Majority of the Tahitian pearl farm harvests produce for about more than 40% baroque as well as semi baroque pearls.
