Top-drilled Blister Pearls - Dyed (10)

Description

This listing is for a lot of 10 beads.

Blister pearls are very interesting! It looks like they put a tiny pearl in the mollusk and it coated that with its nacre in such a weird fashion that it came out like these little teeth-shaped oddities. I seriously doubt that this is the natural color, so I'm going to venture a guess to say they are dyed, but the color doesn't rub off.

Very cool colors: teal with a hint of purple, pink, silver, and blue.

Average size is about 5/8 inch long by 1/4 inch wide and 1/8 inch thick.

Holes will fit up to a 22 gauge (0.025 inches 0.644 mm).

Absolutely none of these photos have been manipulated outside of cropping and resizing. The colors, brightness, or contrast have not been enhanced. I know how frustrating it is to purchase beads online and receive something completely unexpected, and often disappointing. Of course, monitor types and settings will affect the appearance of the photos from screen to screen, but I have done my part to accurately represent the actual product.
