Crystal Pearls

Pearls, along with moonstone and alexandrite, are a traditional June birthstone. Whether you prefer classic white or cream pearls, subtle pinks, peaches and pastels, or edgy iridescent pearls, here you'll find high-quality faux pearls for your special projects. Created to look and feel like the real thing, Preciosa Nacre Pearls contain a crystal core coated in several layers of pearlescent nacre, giving them their signature silky-smooth finish. Tip: Use the "Availability" filter to shop only in-stock items.
Crystal pearls from Swarovski and Preciosa are more consistent and easier to maintain than real pearls! If you're looking for versatility, try 4mm or 6mm pearls for a size that works wonderfully in necklaces plus a wide assortment of additional jewelry projects. To string sophisticated graduated designs, choose several sizes of crystal pearl beads.

Best stringing material? Opinions vary: The classic favorite for stringing pearls is silk cord. However, many modern beaders prefer beading "wire" (stringing cable) for its durability and simplicity (no knotting required).
