Fresh Water Cultured White Double Button Pearls Top Drilled 6mm 38cm Strand

These are super little Double Button Pearls, they are top drilled and each strand is absolutely packed with pearls. Marie’s most recent visit to a Pearl farm last year (before any restrictions) resulted in the most incredible first-hand insights into the farming of cultured pearls, which in turn has translated into our wonderful Pearl Category. Perfect for every Jewellery Maker.

Where gemstones form as minerals underground, pearls are organic; they form within the soft tissues of a living creature; a mollusc.

The difference between natural and cultured pearls is most simply described as cultured pearls are given a helping hand by way of a mantle inclusion. 90% of today’s Pearl market is for cultured pearls.

Once the Pearls have been harvested, they go to market for sale. As buyers we all need to be aware that there is a mass flood of fake, cheap imports and need to be careful where we buy our Pearls from.

At Chalmers Gems we 100% guarantee the authenticity of our Pearls and only procure Pearls after carefully assessing the merits of all of our suppliers and select the very best strings at the very best value.

Pearls are an organic material and will vary in size and shape and may differ from the images shown.
