Freshwater Rice Pearls

Freshwater rice pearls are among the most versatile pearl shapes for jewelry making. Their elongated rice-grain shape creates beautiful movement and texture in necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Our freshwater rice pearls are cultivated in Chinese freshwater lakes and feature natural nacre luster with subtle pink, white, and cream overtones.

Available in sizes from 4x6mm to 7x9mm, our rice pearls are drilled cleanly through the center for easy stringing. Surface quality is AA and AAA grade, with minimal blemishes and consistent shape within each strand.

Freshwater rice pearls are in high demand among US and European jewelry designers making delicate layering necklaces, pearl drop earrings, and minimalist bracelets.
