Cultured Pearl Pair Full Round Half Drilled 6.5-7mm White Freshwater

Pearl is an organic material, formed when an irritant enters a mollusk shell. Layers of `nacre`, which the mollusk`s shell is also made from known as `mother of pearl`, forms around this irritant, over time creating a pearl. Its characteristic iridescent surface sheen is due to these overlapping layers. These pearls are cultured freshwater pearls, meaning an irritant has been purposely added to the mollusk to start the natural formation process. Pearl has generally been known as the stone of sincerity, symbolising purity whilst bringing truth and loyalty. These pair of round cultured freshwater pearls measure approximately 6.5mm - 7mm in diameter. They come in a creamy white shade and are supplied half drilled.
