These are natural freshwater pearls in a nice, big 8mm x 7mm potato shape. They are a delicious pale pink. They are very high quality with a nice nacre and that cool finish of rings, which is why they are often called "ring pearls". I love them - they add some texture to your work. These sold in my retail store for $16.00 per strand, so they are indeed a bargain as I liquidate! This is for TWO strands of beads, approx 118 beads total. As many of my regular customers know, I had a retail store at one time. I have been slowly listing beads and specialized pieces as I liquidate my inventory. What I want you to know about my gemstone beads and pearls is that in the 14 years I ran my store, I made regular trips into the bead district in New York and chose each and every strand of beads personally.

REGARDING PACKAGING: Whenever possible, I use recycled materials for packaging. You may get your items in an box that once held packets of instant oatmeal! I like to reuse these boxes because they are lightweight and sturdy, and they are getting another life before heading to a landfill. I also reuse bubble envelopes and the like, and print receipts on the back of scrap paper. With me, everything gets a second life, so that I can continue to keep my prices low. My return policy is: If it's good enough for me to send to you, it's good enough for me to take back. |
