Nichiren sect prayer beads made with pure pearls


Pearls are a staple of formal jewelry and are very popular.

Their pure shine is also popular in prayer beads.

Pearls are a substance that shellfish produce to protect their bodies.

In this case, because they do not have a nucleus, they can be rice-shaped or have various other shapes, and they can contain pigments and change color.


They are one of the oldest gemstones, and in the past they were used as medicine.


The value of a pearl is determined by the thickness of the nacreous layer, called the "maki",
the "shiny" which shows the luster, the presence or absence of scratches, and the shape.


Pearls that grow inside freshwater shells such as crow oysters are called freshwater pearls.
Freshwater pearls do not grow into perfect circles because no nuclei are inserted during cultivation,
and each one grows into a different shape, such as a rice shape.


The potato-shaped pearls we have prepared this time are oval-shaped, and
each pearl has a slightly different shape.



Freshwater pearls do not have a nucleus and are made entirely of nacre, so one of their characteristics is that they are durable.
