  • Large round Big Hole silver circle pearls, 12mm diameter on 7.5-inch strand
  • Very light silver, holes are about 1.5-2mm 
  • Only one available
  • Like bronze pearls, silver color pearls can be used instead of metal to give a warm or cool 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.
