Tip of the Week

Mother of pearl beads are extremely common and used as the nucleus of most saltwater pearls. These beads also come in different shapes and sizes than traditional beads. They may be larger, oblong, or hand carved with designs, which add to their beauty and uniqueness. They have a surprising sheen and depth of color because they are the real "heart" of the cultured pearl. You may have to look harder to find mother of pearl beads, but once you find them and add them to your designs, you'll find they are well worth the sleuthing effort!
