Add charm to your jewelry by incorporating these white freshwater beads with their organic shape and natural brilliance.
Whether you're looking to create chic jewelry or lighter, more bohemian pieces, freshwater pearls are just the thing! Their soft white hue and slightly irregular appearance give them a delicate charm, ideal for sublimating sober or romantic creations.
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 good luster and only slight imperfections.
How to use these natural pearls?
When it comes to DIY creations, these beads lend themselves equally well to elegant jewelry or more modern compositions. Thread them onto a silk thread, combine with a Gold Filled clasp and chain, and you've got a timelessly elegant necklace for everyday wear or special occasions.
For a more bohemian spirit, you can add them to a multi-strand beaded bracelet combining colored beads and ceramic elements. Their neutral hue allows for a wide range of combinations: natural stones, glass beads, charms or sequins.
