How freshwater pearls are made
From the lake to her collarbone.
Every pearl on your strand was grown, not made in a factory. It takes years of patience on the water before a single necklace is ready to wear.
01
Grown in a mussel
Our pearls come from freshwater farms around Zhuji in eastern China. A small piece of tissue placed inside each mussel is slowly coated in nacre, the same lustrous material that forms a natural pearl.
02
Graded and sorted
After a few years on the water the pearls are harvested, then graded by size, shape and color.
03
Matched into a strand
Pearls of a similar size and tone are strung together and finished with a clasp. Small differences in shape and tone are normal. They are the mark of a real pearl.
Process images are illustrations. Freshwater cultured pearls are often bleached or color-enhanced, and ours may be.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Anything else? Write to hello@letterkeepstudio.com or read our story.
Are they real pearls?
Yes. They are freshwater cultured pearls, grown inside freshwater mussels with human help, which is how almost every pearl strand sold today is produced. They are not glass, shell or plastic imitations.
What shape are they?
Button-shaped: round from the front and slightly flattened from the side, with small natural variations from one pearl to the next.
Are the colors natural?
The supplier doesn't say. Most freshwater cultured pearls on the market are bleached or color-enhanced, so please assume these may be.
How do bundles work?
Choose 2 or 3 necklaces on the product page, in any mix of sizes and colors, and add them with one button. The 10% or 12% saving is applied automatically in your cart.
When will it arrive?
Orders ship within 1–5 business days from our fulfillment partner in China and usually arrive 8–15 business days after that, with tracking. Order by November 23 for the best chance of Christmas delivery.
Does it come gift-wrapped?
It ships in simple protective packaging, not a gift box.
Can I return it?
Yes, unworn pieces within 30 days of delivery. If it arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, send us a photo within 7 days and we'll replace or refund it. See the refund policy.
Where do you ship?
To the 50 US states, Washington, DC, and Canada. We can't ship to US territories or APO/FPO addresses. For Canadian orders, import taxes (GST/HST) may be collected at delivery.
