Hand-crafted. Coin pearls are flat, disc-shaped cultured freshwater pearls known for their high luster and versatility in jewelry. Formed by inserting a coin-shaped nucleus into a mussel, they typically measure 10-20mm in diameter and appear in natural white, pink, lavender, peach and silver, offering a smooth surface that reflects light exceptionally well. Key Characteristics and Information Formation: They are created by inserting a flat, round nucleus into a freshwater mussel. The mollusk deposits nacre around this, creating a flat button-shaped pearl. Appearance and Luster: Due to their large flat surface area, coin pearls often exhibit intense luster, similar to high-quality pearls. While many are smooth, some may have a rippled surface. Size and Color: Usually found in sizes between 10-12 mm, though they can be larger. Natural colors range from classic white to peach, pink, lavender, and metallic shades. Shape: They are generally flat on both sides, resembling a coin or button. Usage: Popular in jewelry making for earrings, necklaces, and bracelets because of their unique, modern aesthetic. Price: Often considered more affordable than perfectly round pearls, yet they offer high-end appeal. Quality Factors Luster: High-quality coin pearls have a, bright, metallic-like sheen. Surface: The best quality pearls are smooth, although some surface rippling is common. Shape: While inherently flat, the best examples are perfectly round in circumference. *NO SHIPPING TO THE USA* Please note the sizes of the item listed and the description, photos are not the actual size of the item.
