These 8mm, Grade A, Round, Shell Pearl Beads, in a Lilac Mix, are an affordable alternative to their more expensive counterparts.

The Shell Pearl Beads have a hole in the middle, which is very easy to thread to make necklaces, bracelets and for use in other jewelry making projects.

Shell Pearls are made from the inner lining of oyster shells, also known as Mother of Pearl. The substance is ground to a fine powder, shaped, dyed and coated with natural pearl nacre and then a protective coating to give it lustre.

Shell Pearls are imitation pearls.
