13 Strands – Beautiful Collection of Mixed Freshwater Pearls [Wa]

This collection of almost 1320 fine mixed freshwater pearls, is now being offered in a 13-strand collection, - a must-have for all serious beaders – bent on creating fine jewellery.

Sizes range between 2mm – 11mm, while colours include white, cream, peacock grey and an orange pink. 

The majority of today’s pearls are freshwater cultured pearls that are farmed and created by using freshwater mussels. Each mussel can produce as many as 25 pearls on each side of its shell.

Freshwater pearls are generally more irregular in shape – when compared to saltwater cultured pearls and tend to appeal more to younger people and designers.

And more importantly, they are less expensive than saltwater pearls.

The majority of these beautiful pearl beads are produced in Taiwan, Japan, USA and China.
