Grey freshwater pearls are cultured freshwater pearls in silver-grey to charcoal tones — a modern, versatile alternative to white pearls at an accessible price.































If you're looking for a type of pearl with a look that is similar to traditional white pearls but with added dimension, cultured grey freshwater pearls may be the ideal alternative. American Pearl carries unique grey pearls that feature the same iridescent glow that pearls are known for, but they come in a variety of shades of grey to choose from. Whether you prefer something dark and metallic, soft and dusty or a piece with more of a silver sheen, our wide selection of grey pearl jewelry includes something for every woman.
Before you choose a set of striking ocean gems, it helps if you learn a little bit about grey pearls - value, quality, shape and luster differ from saltwater pearls. Grey freshwater pearls, which come from the mollusk Hyriopsis cumingii, are significantly more common (and therefore less valuable) than saltwater pearls, but they are nonetheless extremely beautiful and intriguing. They make an excellent choice for the first-time pearl buyer and will still charm anyone who loves truly unique jewelry. American Pearl has top-quality grey pearl necklaces and jewelry to showcase this wonderful gem.

No, most grey freshwater pearls are not natural color: most are color-enhanced; naturally dark pearls usually come from saltwater Tahitian oysters.
Grey pearls complement silver, white gold, black and neutral clothing and suit most skin tones.
Compared with grey pearls, Tahitian pearls are naturally dark saltwater pearls and cost more; grey freshwater pearls give a similar look for less.
