Our Main Materials:
Freshwater Pearls: A Unique and Beautiful Gemstone
Pearls have long been considered an elegant and sophisticated accessory, there are two types of pearls, freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls. Saltwater pearls are grown in oysters in the sea, freshwater pearls are grown in mussels in rivers, lakes, and ponds.
One of the most fascinating things about freshwater pearls is the variety of colors they come in, besides the classic white and cream colours, they can also be found from peach and pink to lavender and even black.The color of a freshwater pearl is determinated by the type of mussel it was grown in and the water conditions where it was raised.
In addition to the stunning array of colors, freshwater pearls also come in a wide range of shapes, such as round, oval, tear-drop,and even irregular shapes. No two freshwater pearls are exactly alike, which makes them a truly unique and special gemstone.
At ZHEN BIJOUX, we celebrate these natural imperfections that make each freshwater pearl so special. Our collection features a range of freshwater pearls in a variety of colours and shapes. We create stunning pieces that highlight the natural beauty of each pearl-whether it’s a delicate pendant necklace or a bold statement bracelet.
Other Materials:
14k gold filled brass and gold-plated brass
Gold-plated brass is affordable and can form large chunks of metal giving a more fantastic look, but it doesn't last as long as gold filled brass.
Gold filled brass is water resistant and will last for many years because of the thick gold on the surface of the brass core, thus it's also more expensive.
For this reason, we use gold-plated brass for occasional jewellery and gold filled brass for everyday wear jewellery.
