Description
- These oval champagne pearls are a bit more beige/golden than most
- They're 8mm long by 5mm wide on 16-inch strand
- 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 eliminate the irritation and this coating of grows over time increasing the pearl's luster. The color is influenced by minerals in the water.
- The Chinese cultured some pearls 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.
- From the collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer and educator
