Imagine lots of chic, elegant DIY necklaces and bracelets with these irregular, flattened round freshwater pearls!
What are freshwater pearls?Freshwater pearls are natural pearls bred in the fresh waters of rivers and lakes. These pearls are nucleated using organic material, usually a fragment of shell, so that the bead is made exclusively of mother-of-pearl. Nature never does the same thing twice, which is why beads vary in shape and size. Some are round or oval, others are long or twisted. It's these irregularities that give them their charm.
These freshwater beads are AA+ grade, which means they have a very brilliant luster and very few imperfections. Their excellent quality makes them ideal for dazzling creations.
