  • Champagne color oval pearls, 4x6mm on 14.5-inch strands
  • Very uniform shape with soft luster and look warmer than the image shows
  • Like bronze and silver color pearls, champagne pearls can also replace metal to give a light metallic shimmer to your jewelry designs
  • I like to forget that bronze pearls are pearls and just use them for their color, luster, shape etc. this opens up a lot of possibilities that you might not think of.
  • 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.
