Checking the shape of the pearl is the next step to ensure the best quality of cultured freshwater pearl. White is the colour for all the naturally occurring seawater pearls. Also the freshwater pearl naturally comes in white. Sometime black coloured pearl is also found naturally. Cultured freshwater pearl comes in different colours.
