As if the dawns and sunsets of summer days gave all their most delicate shades of pink to these pearls! Today's article is contemplative, not educational, precious readers, I propose to plunge into pink dreams of the most beautiful pearls!
There are only two types of pink pearls: pink freshwater pearls and pink king shell pearls, which you can learn about from articles about conch pearls.
This article will only focus on pink freshwater pearls, as they are the most common and relatively affordable type of natural pink pearls you can find today.
Pink freshwater pearls are grown in freshwater pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii, which is bred and grown in China.
The freshwater pearl mussel has three primary natural colors: white, pink and lavender. These colors and shades are natural, so these pearls will never discolor, fade or crumble.
So, just open your eyes, as they said in one movie, and bathe in the pink shimmer of pearls:
- Pale peach pearl;
- Classic peach pearl;
Peach color is a mixture of orange, yellow, and white, giving it a pastel shade that goes with just about any complexion. Peach is a calming color and is considered by many to be sweet, friendly.
- Apricot freshwater pearls;
Apricot is the deepest and brightest version of the peach, featuring a more intense orange with a dash of red to enhance the visual warmth of the pearl.
Symbolizing vitality, joy and enthusiasm, the apricot shades of pink freshwater pearls are fun and playful and definitely eye catching.
- Peach with a bronze-pink tint;
These pearls can be either bright peach or pink; The main component that makes this particular color combination unique are the strong bronze tones.
Bronze is usually characterized by flashes of green and orange-gold, which definitely makes these pearls a very rare find! You will typically see this color combination in Edison freshwater pearls.
- Salmon pink freshwater pearls;
Salmon pink freshwater pearls separate peach-apricot pink and true pink shades. This color still retains a certain orange component, but pink and red hues begin to dominate here.
- Pale pink to champagne freshwater pearls;
Similar to very pale peach colors, these pale pinks have a distinctly desaturated, very pastel whitish hue. Usually, these pearls also have a silver tint, which enhances the frosty pink color.
- Freshwater pearls of soft pink color;
Soft pink freshwater pearls are perhaps the most popular shade. These pearls have a pronounced pink flesh color, but are pastel and slightly to medium saturated in tone. Soft pink freshwater pearls come in many shades, such as pink, aquamarine and gold - they are all beautiful!
- Candy pink freshwater pearls;
A strong, rich bright pink that everyone loves - absolutely fun and flirty. Yellow gold enhances the red hues, making the pearl even more pink!
- Dusty pink freshwater pearls;
Dusty pink freshwater pearls are a transitional shade from pink to lavender pearls.
It's a solid pastel pink, but the colors are somewhat muted and cool, with hints of purple. The surface of these pearls often has a silvery-whitish sheen, which cools the pearl and makes its color softer and more refined.
- Freshwater pearls from mauve to lavender;
One of my absolute favorites, mauve pink is a dreamy, romantic color that evokes the imagination.
After that, the pink transitions to stronger lavender shades, and that concludes our review of pink freshwater pearls!
