Natural Lake Pepin Pearls

Naturally, I am interested in natural Minnesota Lake Pepin pearls....as I grew up in that beautiful state and natural pearls are my favorites.

Some time back, Steve Swan of Swan Ltd. Jewelers in Lake City, Minnesota, contacted me because of his interest in locally made pearl buttons and natural pearls.

On a recent trip home to Minnesota to visit my mother and family I stopped by to see these natural Mississippi River pearls and visit Swan Ltd. Jewelry, Swan's jewelry store in Lake City, Minnesota.

Aren't these natural pearls gorgeous? These beauties were worth traveling to see.

This lake is actually a natural widening of the Mississippi River like a snake that has swallowed an elephant as in the children's book, "Little Prince". You have read the "Little Prince" haven't you?

Each pearl from this lake has an individual hue, shape and luster not found in cultured pearls. Steve can mount these pearls in rings and pendants of your choice.

Inside this case is a variety of lovely Lake Pepin pearl jewelry. Swan Ltd. Jewelers specialize in designing custom jewelry according to your desires and ideas.
