Description
- These peacock pearls are oval 5x6mm, but look almost round, and have the beautiful metallic glow peacock pearls are famous for in the full range of rainbow highlights. Very consistent size, shape, and silky smooth feel.
- These are my favorite peacock pearls on the site
- 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.
