Freshwater Potato Pearl Beads
Freshwater Potato Pearl Beads are shaped like a potato. They are more uniform in shape than Nugget Pearls. Most are drilled on the short dimension, but we also offer them drilled on the long dimension.
Sizes are provided as a range unless the strand is very uniform.

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.
