Hi, I’m Brian Schultz, founder and CEO of The Freshwater Pearl Company. The Freshwater Pearl Company was created as a symbol of love. A way of honoring the people I hold dear by sharing their joy and generosity with the world through our freshwater pearl jewelry. Each pearl, with its lustrous surface and unique shape, tells a story of nature's beauty and the meticulous craftsmanship of artisans. A pearl necklace is not just a piece of jewelry; it's a symbol of sophistication, grace, and luxury. Pearls are formed inside the shells of certain mollusks, such as oysters and mussels.
