7.5-8.5mm White Potato Freshwater Pearls

Description

These 7.5-8.5mm White Potato Pearls are a lovely potato shape. They’re perfect for combining with other natural gemstones and beads to make unique jewellery.

The beads vary in size from approximately 7.5mm – 8.5mm.  Pearls are traditionally used extensively in bridal jewellery, and these would work well in Tiara designs as well as elegant bridal jewellery.

The 7.5-8.5mm White Potato Pearls have a generously sized hole, which is approximately 0.7mm. Larger pearls such as these are often strung into knotted necklaces giving you a classic piece of jewellery that will last a very long time. The knotting between the beads stops the pearls from rubbing together. As an organic material the pearls can, when rubbed together, scratch and chip each other.

For help making simple jewellery like the bracelet shown the video below shows you how to add a necklace end to the thread that these pearls are strung on. It’s easy from here to add a clasp to make a pearl necklace!
