12x10mm to 17x13mm Peach Ultra Baroque Freshwater Pearls - 16 Inch Strand (28 Pearls) - Perfect for Jewelry Making, Bridal Accessories & DIY Crafts

Peach Straight Drilled Ultra Baroque Freshwater Pearls measure approximately 12x10mm up to 17x13mm in size, have a good luster, good nacre quality with irregular surface, well matched on strand for tone and quality, have a rare ultra baroque shape in a larger size, and the color is a warm peachy hue with a very slight iridescent overtone. Great shapes!

Baroque freshwater pearls have been cultured using a host mollusk in a lake environment. The color is a factor of the mollusk mantle color, the growth environment, and perhaps a dyeing process after cultivation. To maintain pearls for years to come, care for them after wearing by storing in a non-airtight area, enclose them in a soft pouch when near items that could damage the nacre, and wash them gently with tepid water & a very mild soap. Finally, lay the strand flat to completely dry the cording before restoring the strand. With these simple steps, your pearls will be heirlooms to pass down generation to generation.
