  • Small irregular pearls, 4x5mm somewhere between silver and champagne
  • These cam from Beadazzled's Falls Church inventory and I don't know much about them.
  • Irregular shapes like these can add texture, especially to multi-strand designs and at the intersection between warm and cool tones they should be versatile as their mix of flat and rounded surfaces reflects the light differently
  • Their bargain price should help them find good homes
  • Most gems are stones, but a few like Pearl, Amber, Jet, and Coral, are classified as Organic gems, meaning they came from living things.
  • Pearls are formed inside bivalves (similar to oysters), which coat any foreign substance that gets inside their shell with a smooth layer of pearly nacre to reduce the irritation.
  • The Chinese cultured in the 12th or 13th century, but the Japanese developed it into an industry in the 1890s, inserting mother-of-pearl beads as the basis of their cultured Pearls.
