They are a material called Shell Pearl, which is made with layers of Mother of Pearl.  This gives them the weight and texture of real pearls.  These have been dyed a beautiful pale Turquoise blue.

Mounted on my historically accurate hoop findings or classic leverback findings.

These measure about 1″ in length – the beads themselves are a small 10-12mm.  Please note these are natural beads so may have some minor variation in size and shape.
