Pearl beads can be freshwater or saltwater cultured pearls. The natural pearls are pink in color, mauve or peach. There are different types of pearl beads. There are those that imitate the appearance of real pearls and there are those that are real pearls. Either way, all pearl beads look great and will add a tone to your appearance. Pearl beads come in different sizes, colors and weight. Making your own necklaces with pearl beads is so easy.

Pearl beads can be used to make one of the best necklaces. You can use different types, colors and sizes to make your own patterns. They are available online and you do not have to stress on how to get them. You just have to make an order and you are good to go.

The pearl beads are smooth. When you wear them, you feel awesome as they shake on your neck, ear or hand. Some beads look beautiful but they are rough so when you wear them, you feel irritated and they even ruin your skin. This is not the case with pearl beads. They are very smooth.


The shape of the pearl beads makes them look shiny from whichever angle you view them. This makes them very beautiful as they glitter a lot. They are also harder than they look. In fact they do not break easily. They also don’t scratch easily because of their smooth nature. You can have them for a long time and store them without having a scratch on them. This helps you to get value for your money because you will use them for a long time.


Pearl beads will look good with any outfit. These are not like the metal beads which only look nice on specific types of outfits. The pearl beads can be matched with every cloth and still look nice. Pearl beads can also be re used. When you have one necklace that has become monotonous to you, you can decide and re-assemble it into something different. You can remove the beads and make them into a different pattern and still look good.
