"Wild" pearls are called "natural"

"Wild" pearls are called "natural" pearls. Although, often the term "natural" is also used to specify whether or not the color is natural....so keep that in mind.

Natural pearls, the only kind available centuries ago, are rare and valuable...if available at all. The country of Bahrain, however, still deals in natural pearls...in fact, selling of cultured pearls is illegal there.

Remember seeing those old painting of the queens all draped with long ropes of pearls? Those were most likely "natural pearls," although, even back then, they had ways of making artificial pearls.

Natural pearls are still being found all over the world...even 10 miles from my home here in eastern Iowa, people find natural freshwater pearls in the Mississippi River.

Ahhhhh, "freshwater"....now just what does that mean? That's an easy one. Any pearl found in a body of water that's freshwater, like a lake, river, creek, is a "freshwater" pearl.

"Sea pearls" or "saltwater pearls" are found in bodies of saltwater such as oceans, seas, or gulfs.
