Perfectly round large pearls are enormously expensive, and we think these are almost as good as the real thing - frankly, we can't tell the difference unless we get really close up. They have the same weight and feel as the real thing, but so much more affordable! A personal favourite. These beads are made from nacreous shell powders, reconstituted to resemble pearls. This set is in a mix of autumn colours (represented in the photo - the actual mix in your order may vary but only slightly)
