Potato pearls resemble their namesakes, just in smaller form! These rather lumpy pearls are quite stunning when strung together to form a necklace and earring set. They are wider in the middle than both ends, and some tend to have surface bumps and texture that add to their appeal. They can be drilled for stringing either lengthwise or crosswise. Also like their veggie cousins, they come in a kaleidoscope of colors. Don't confuse them with nugget pearls, which can be smaller and less symmetrical, or buttons, which are rounder and have a noticeable flat side.
