These colorful pearls were directly cut from the mother of pearls. Each beads include the pearl itself as well as the connection part from the mother of pearl. Although they don't look round, or are lack of the shape of a normal pearl, they contain the original luster and shape of the mother of pearl, and show an organic and natural look of the mother nature. The necklaces are knotted between each pearl and range from 16 inches to 20 inches.
