  • Pink pearls, beautiful smooth ovals (short fat rice) 6x5mm on 16-inch strands
  • These are classic light pink satiny shimmering pearls with excellent luster
  • From the collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer and educator
  • 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.
