Nugget pearls are widely varied in shape and size. All dimensional surfaces can be quite different adding uniqueness to each pearl. Our nugget pearls have a flat side making them different from a Potato Pearl.
Sugary Pink Cotton Candy colored pearls almost look good enough to eat! Please don't eat them - but do notice that there are some dye marks and variable luster in this bright batch of pearls.
Light & bright Honeydew green nugget pearls have highlights of silver and a hint of blue. Dye absorption & luster varies a bit, giving the pearls a multi-tone look.
Very good luster graces these nugget pearls in a beautiful shade of Light Sea Green. A few pearls are lower luster or show a small dye mark.

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.
