Native Americans valued the freshwater pearls they discovered and harvested from lakes and rivers. Hernando de Soto was presented with many gifts including freshwater pearls from a Native American princess. Native tribes used pearls as jewelry and for trade with colonizers from Spain, France and England. Due to the volume of pearls available in America's rivers, pearls quickly became one of the chief products sent from the colonies back to Europe. Pearl harvests included freshwater pearls from North American rivers and saltwater pearls from the Caribbean and along the coasts of Central and South America until the 19th century when natural pearl sources began to decline as a result of over fishing and the pollution caused by industrialization.
