Description

FRESHWATER PEARLS

Freshwater pearls come from oysters that mature in non-saline water (from lakes or ponds, as opposed to saltwater from the sea). Freshwater and saltwater pearls form in the same manner. An irritant trapped in a mollusk stimulates the production of nacre and the formation of the pearl. Although both varieties share most of their chemical and physical properties, natural freshwater pearls have poorer lustre and more irregular, baroque shapes.

However, cultured freshwater pearls can now match saltwater pearls in appearance because of improved farming techniques.

About the Artist / Artisan

Mixed Media | Jewellery | Printmaker

Bella Vandermeer gained her Fine Arts degree at the University of Newcastle. She says of herself that she’s a bit of a tart when it comes to art. She develops an obsession about a certain material or process and works it to death. As one obsession passes, another takes her on a ride.

The diversity of her art practice fits well with her abhorrence of society’s penchant for slotting people into nice, neat categories.

Love brought Belle to Tasmania, a move she has never regretted.
