Mississippi River Pearl Jewelry Co.

Welcome!

The Story of the River Pearl

Once called "Dew from Heaven",
these very rare natural pearls come
from the mussels of our American Rivers.

They are found in many different sizes
and colors, and also in various shapes,
some called wings, others baroques.

The round ones are known around
the world as one of the oldest and
finest gems.

The Zebra Mussel has invaded most
of our rivers over the past decade
and the harvesting of these pearls
is now almost non-existent. Consequently
these beautiful natural pearls are
becoming more and more rare.
Enjoy our treasures!
