Pearls of different colors are arranged in a well-balanced way!


Pearls, which are a staple of prayer beads, are now even more beautiful with gradation colors!

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.
At that time, they become rice-shaped or have various other shapes because they do not have a nucleus,
and their color changes when they contain pigments.

They are one of the oldest gemstones, and were once used as medicine.

The value of a pearl is determined by the thickness of the nacreous layer, called the "roll," the "luster" that indicates the luster, the presence or absence of scratches, and the shape.

Pearls that form 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 in shape, and the shape of each pearl is slightly different.

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

This rosary is made by mixing pearls of various colors.

Each pearl bead is selected by a craftsman to match the color.

This is a recommended item.
