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.
While many of these Minty Green nugget pearls have one flat side, a good number are more rounded. Light dye marks and variable luster, especially on the flat side.
Deeply colored Teal nugget pearls are not only large, but have fairly rounded contours for nugget pearls. Heavy dye absorption, especially on the flatter sides.
Larger nugget pearls were dyed a nice shade of blue, but color is fairly variable. Color absorption varies, and some pearls are more of a lilac color. Some surface irregularities.
Olivine Green is the name we've come up with to describe this combination of yellowy green with gold highlights.

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.
