    These are cultured freshwater pearls manufactured in China.  The pearls have been dyed and/or bleached.  They are fully drilled, and strung with
    polyester
    string.  The strand is 16" in length.  The strand consists of mixed sizes, shapes & colours.
    It is common to find pearls in a variety of forms, such as elongated, ovoid, teardrop, egg-shaped, baroque, irregular, potato, rice, and so on.  Many of the pearls have bands and rings running around them like a chair leg turned on a lathe.  This strand is for use in adding to your own handmade jewelry.
    The pictures were taken with LED lighting.  I have enlarged the photos for better viewing.  They have been placed next to a dime for size reference.
    Freshwater pearls occur naturally in cream, whitish & pinks.  Farmers have learned the art of dying the pearls and they are available in many colours.  A
    s a result of the natural development the cultured pearl, there are subtle variations in the colour.
    After the naturally coloured freshwater pearls are removed from the mussel, they are slightly polished in a mixture of water and bamboo chips.  If they are white, they are often bleached, and or put under fluorescent lights.  If dyed, the colour is permanent.  Bleaching is impossible to detect.
    Although pearl is only 2.5 - 4.5 on Mohs' hardness scale, they are extraordinarily compact and it is very difficult to crush them.   These pearls are a testimony to the mastering techniques of the Japanese and Chinese producing cultured pearls and the commercial production of pearl farms since the 1930's.  These are a result of the cultured pearl revolution.
