May 25, 2007, Newsletter Issue #89: Designing With the Rice Pearl

Tip of the Week

What can you do with rice pearls? Well, you can string them in stands of pearls, but partnered with other gems, the rice pearl is especially stunning and eye-catching. That's because of the rich colorations and even size of these gems. Rice pearls look grand alone, but next to a glass bead or gemstone they take on even more wondrous characteristics. Some rice pearls have subtle banding, while others do not. Usually, the rice pearl bead is drilled end to end, to enhance the thicker center of the pearl.
