Freshwater pearls

How would it feel to wear something that was shaped in quiet patience – by time, protection and love?
Freshwater pearls are formed inside mussels in rivers and lakes. They are often more organic in shape, with a softer luster than saltwater pearls, while carrying ancient symbolism: wisdom, purity, and emotional clarity.
In spiritual traditions, freshwater pearls are described as carriers of feminine wisdom and an inner peace that grows from daring to be soft in a harsh world. They are said to strengthen self-worth, compassion and patience , especially in relationships – both with others and with yourself. The pearl carries the power of that which grows slowly but truly, shaped by protection from within and brought about by the small movements of life.
For those of you who know that truly beautiful things are often born in silence – and must take the time it needs – the freshwater pearl is a fitting symbol and companion.
