Freshwater Coin Pearl Beads
Coin pearls are mostly round, always bold & beautiful. Coin pearls start from a disc shaped nucleus instead of a round mother of pearl bead like most other cultured pearls. The pearls form around the shaped disc. By using different shaped discs, coin pearls are also made in square, heart and triangle shapes.

Coin, Triangle, Double Drilled, 12-12.5mm, 1 Strand
Item #: CS-120WH-01
Availability:
Double drilled beads make excellent bracelets, since stringing two strands keeps the pearls flat. We really liked the fact that triangle shaped coins could be arranged in various patterns to make some really terrific pearl jewelry designs! The opalescence on these pearls is excellent. Nacre coverage is pretty uniform for a special shape pearl - notice in the picture that some of them have a few edge bumps. Size measurement is 12-12.5mm (measured from flat side to opposite tip).

Item #: CN-125PC-02
Availability:
new product These nice big Peacock coin pearls range from 12-13mm diameter, but most will be right around 12.5mm. Rainbow hued highlight colors abound in these pearls - if anything, they have even more color than the picture can show. Nacre coverage runs rather thick on this group of pearls, so you will see a few pearls that are a bit lumpy or have tiny "pockets", as shown.

Coin Pearls, Flower Shaped, 10-11mm, Turquoise, 1 Strand
Item #: CS-105TU-01
Availability:
new product These were so fun, we just had to get a few! These coin pearls are shaped like 5 petal flowers, then were dyed a nice bright turquoise blue. Nacre coverage is fairly even, so you can easily see the flower outline. The dye absorbed better in some spots than others, as you can see from the picture, giving a bit of a multi-tone effect. Sizes are between 10 to 11mm. Strands have about 36 to 38 pearls on each strand.

Pearl Buying Tips

Freshwater pearls are temporarily strung and sold by the strand. Strands are usually 15.5-16" long (40 cm).

Pearls are a natural product and some styles and colors will be available only in limited amounts. Though we try to buy pearls that can be re-stocked, some styles may not be available again. So, we suggest you purchase all the strands that you need for a particular project at the same time.

Our pearls are priced based on their overall quality. Higher priced pearls will be more consistent in color and shape and have better luster. Small pearls also will be higher in price (more labor to prepare the strands) as will very large pearls (more rare and they take longer to culture).

The freshwater pearls we sell at abeadstore.com and PearlBeadSale.com are all cultured pearls; for more information about the pearl culturing process please see the All About Pearls page on our wholesale website PearlBeadSale.com.
