Description
Full strand of cultured freshwater pearls in a flat baroque shape. Highly irregular pearls that vary in size and shape. These vary immensely from strand to strand – some strands are fairly well formed individual rectangles; others are mostly made up of two rectangles joined together (these are actually quite interesting and unique in their own way!). Some strands are drilled through the centre of the rectangle, while others are top drilled. The price reflects the irregularity of these pearls, and yours will be sent at random.

What are Cultured Freshwater Pearls?
Cultured freshwater pearls are farmed natural pearls grown by mussels. The mussel is implanted with a tiny piece of mantle tissue, in a process called nucleation. The pearl will then form around this tiny piece of mantle and be harvested when the desired size/age is reached. One mussel can produce dozens of pearls!
My Beads has gained a strong reputation for our range of freshwater pearls, developing relationships with key cultured pearl suppliers over the years. We continue to offer very competitive pricing, and strive to offer a high level of value in terms of the overall appearance (size, shape, nacre and lustre) of our pearls. We offer a range of qualities, from very affordable irregular nugget pearls to stunning, lustrous near-round pearls. We select our pearls based on their inherent appeal – so even our most inexpensive pearls are beautiful and very wearable!
