A Little Information on The Mississippi River Pearl Jewelry Company
Nadine Ifrah Leo is the owner and founder of The Mississippi River Pearl Jewelry, Co. LLC, which she founded in 1982.  She has traveled all the American Rivers for over 35 years collecting some of the rarest pearls in the world, and now owns the largest collection of Mississippi River Pearls.  We have personally sold pearls to the Royal Family in England.
Pearls, like many gems come in a variety of colors, white being the most common. Other colors, gold, pink, cream, blue, purple and green are very rare. Different locations in the shell form the variety of shapes. Those along the lip are round and the largest ones are the rarest. Wing shaped pearls form along the back of the shell and irregular or “baroque” pearls form in the heel of the shell.
The brighter the luster, the more valuable it makes the pearl.
A good sized baroque pearl will occur every one hundred to two hundred clams while a good sized natural round pearl occurs only about once in 25 to 50 thousand clams. The harvest of these beautiful natural pearls has been largely shut down on most American Rivers due to the invasion of Zebra Mussels from Europe. Consequently, these natural pearls will become more rare and valuable as time goes on. We create a new collection every year with these pearls and American gemstones in both gold and silver
