Specialty & Color Mix Freshwater Pearl Beads
Here are the Specialty and Color Mix Freshwater Pearls currently in stock. These are the pearls stocked on abeadstore.com previously.
We have limited amounts of each of these and the styles and colors change frequently to reflect seasonal preferences and availability.
Many of the pearls are only available once from our importers, so stock up if you think you will be using a particular style in several designs.

How Many Pearls on a Strand?
The number of pearls in a strand is based on the type of pearl and the size. If you need an approximate number for your project, tables are posted at the bottom of each page in this category by the "style" of pearl (for example, go to Coin in the left nav for the size table for Coin Pearls).
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.
