Available in Various Shapes: Round, Rice, Baroque & More

Pearl beads aren’t all the same, and that’s what makes them so much fun to work with. Different shapes change how a piece feels when it’s worn — some sit smooth against the skin, others move with a little more swing or catch the light in unexpected ways.

  • Rounds give you the classic polished look that never feels dated.
  • Rice pearls add a little texture, so a strand moves differently when it’s worn.
  • Baroque pearls are wild and irregular, the kind that makes every necklace one-of-a-kind.
  • Coin pearls are flat and shiny, almost like little discs of light that catch the eye in a strand.
  • Teardrops are a favorite for earrings because they hang just right and add an easy bit of elegance.

Some strands are smooth while others have more natural quirks and markings. Having so many shapes in one place makes it simple to grab what you need without bouncing around.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pearl beads do you offer?

There’s a wide selection here. You’ll find freshwater strands in round, rice, baroque, coin, teardrop, and even large-hole pearls. Some are natural white or cream, others dyed for color, and there are vintage options too.

It’s a good stock to keep on hand since each shape works differently in jewelry making.

What size pearl beads are best for necklaces, bracelets, or earrings?

It depends on the project. Larger pearls (8mm and up) work beautifully in necklaces where you want the bead to stand out. Medium sizes are common for bracelets since they feel comfortable against the wrist. Smaller pearls and teardrops work well in earrings since they’re light to wear and still add that bit of shine.

How do I care for pearl beads to maintain their shine?

Pearls aren’t cut from rock like other beads, as they are organic material. Because of this, they need a softer touch when it comes to care. Wipe them with a soft cloth after wearing to keep oils and dirt off the surface. Avoid chemicals, perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, or soaking in water.

What do pearls represent spiritually?

Pearls are often linked with patience and wisdom. The reasoning behind this is because the pearl starts as a speck of dirt and forms slowly inside a shell, and it takes time to become that beautiful. Some people also connect them with calm energy and emotional balance.
