What is a Biwa baroque pearl?
1 Answer
Baroque pearls are pearls with an irregular, non-spherical shape. They are sometimes called Biwa baroque pearls because of their discovery in Lake Biwa, Japan. Baroque pearls are coveted for their uniqueness as no two baroque pearls are alike. Baroque pearls are long and round with dips along the surface.
