Lot of 20 4.5 x 3.5 mm round beads in natural freshwater mother-of-pearl

A lot of 20 freshwater mother-of-pearl rondelles, just enough for a pair of earrings, a fine bracelet or a few spacers. Their shades range from ivory to soft brown, with that satin sheen characteristic of shell.

Features:

  • Material: natural freshwater mother-of-pearl (shell)
  • Shape: rondelle
  • Size: approximately 4.5 mm in diameter
  • Thickness: approximately 3.5 mm
  • Hole: approximately 0.8 mm
  • Quantity: 20 beads
  • Color: ivory, beige and brown, variegated

Ideal for adding rhythm to a strand of stone beads, finishing a bracelet or creating tassels. For a larger project, these same beads are available in a full strand of approximately 111 beads.

The material: mother-of-pearl is an organic material, not a stone. The mollusk deposits it layer by layer inside its shell: plates of aragonite (calcium carbonate) held together by conchiolin, a natural protein. This layering of very fine sheets plays with the light and gives mother-of-pearl its luster. This one comes from freshwater mussel shells, with naturally warm tones. Hardness of 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale.

Good to know: keep mother-of-pearl away from perfumes, creams and acidic products, and store it separately to avoid scratches.

Symbolism: since Antiquity, mother-of-pearl has evoked the sea, the moon and femininity; it is traditionally attributed with virtues of softness and serenity.

The beads you will receive: the photo shows beads from the same lot as your order; shades and veining are representative of what you will receive, each mother-of-pearl bead being unique.

100% natural product: size, shape and shade may vary slightly from one bead to another. Dimensions are given as an indication.

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Few objects are imperishable and last over time. Your jewelry, regardless of price or composition, will live with you and thus show signs of aging. This is perfectly normal and does not call the quality into question.

Here are some tips to keep them in the best condition for as long as possible.

  • Remove your jewelry before washing, bathing, and during beauty routines (cream, perfume...). This will help preserve the gold plating in good condition and not damage the Gemstones. Rest assured, the Prémium Perles Corner metals are of very good quality and will survive occasional exposure to water.
  • Avoid chemical products. Contrary to what one might think, doing the dishes, swimming in chlorinated water... does not go well with metals and stones.
  • Be sure to store your jewelry properly. When you are not wearing them, we recommend storing your jewelry in a case, a suede pouch, a zip bag, and especially not in a humid room like the bathroom.
  • Clean your jewelry with soapy water. Avoid chemical products or toothpaste, which could be too harsh for metals and stones. Regular maintenance, once a month, is sufficient. Be sure to dry them well afterward.

In conclusion, your jewelry, like all things, are objects that need attention and respect so you can enjoy them for as long as possible. With these few tips, they should accompany you for years!
