We have these basic rice pearls in our stock for at least 60 years, they all have lustre and life to them. If you use pearls you know what I am talking about. In the " old days " no one would even think of buying or using some of the flat dead pearls you see on the market today. Old is best! These are called rice pearls because they look like rice...same shape. They measure 3x5mm-4x6mm and there are 78- 80 pcs on a strand, which also tells you their age as today the standard strand is 16 " yet these are close to 20 ", which is how they were sold in yesteryear. We offer them to you at the special price of $15 per strand!! The quality is listed as Grade B but Grade B in the old days was a lot better than Grade A today. Final Sale at this give-away price but worry not, you will love them! Item # FW-1.

Mermaid's Tears come from a shell found in the South Pacfic. I am not sure which one so I say nothing more about that. There are two varieties, the light and the dark. This is the dark. The light is below. They make fascinating pendants, you ought to be able to see that. Why are they called 'Mermaid's Tears'? I don't know, but they are. Make the necklace in the browns and golds for this one and you are home free. They vary in design being a natural shell. From the photo you can see they measure about 2 1/2 inches, a large piece and as a pendant will make some heckuva statement. You can see there are two holes drilled through, the rest is up to you. To the best of my knowledge these are no longer harvested and we have some for sale but when we sell out of them that is the end of that. The price is $25 each. Order Item # mt1.
