About Shell Pearls
Shell Pearls are man-made simulated pearls created from the shell on an oyster. Each pearl is made through several different stages, taking the raw material from a seashell and coating and polishing it to create the final shape of the pearl. An important addition to the Shell Pearl is a "mother-of-pearl" bead that sits in the center. This adds weight and durability to each pearl bead.
Shell Pearls are a popular simulated pearl variety. Because they employ a shell nucleus and contain layers of natural cultured pearl material, shell pearls showcase a similar luster, weight and feel found in excellent quality genuine pearls. Shell Pearls create the classic look of lustrous pearl accessories, at a fraction of the price.
