Natural pink pearls found in Ohio

Pink pearls you can find for yourself!

I was browsing for the history and origin of freshwater pearls when I recently came across this excellent article by Connor R. Sullivan.  I had no idea that there were any pearls found in North America, and was delighted to find that they are a Native American tradition.

Much to my surprise Connor explains that pink pearls can be found in the Miami River, OH.  What an exciting thought – to have a beautiful pink pearl necklace made from pearls coming from Ohio?  Apparently many other colors of pearls have also been found in that locality.

Some Advice On Pearl Necklances, Ladies?

I’m interested in buying a pearl necklace for Valentine’s day but am not sure what chain length and diameter are considered “standard”.
I’ve already decided I want some pink saltwater pearls but if any of you ladies out there could give me some tips on the pearl diameter and chain length I’d be very grateful :)
