Description
- Dark bronze freshwater pearls with copper highlights, these have an antique poished look
- Bright copper highlights blend into dark brown and almost black around the edges
- These ovals are drilled through the short dimension 5x7mm on 16-inch strands
- 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 and grows over time. 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.
