Button Pearl
11-14 x 2-4mm Freshwater Pearl Button, IHD: 0.9mm
Unit: each
$3.25 USD
Made from mussels placed in freshwater pools, the mollusk builds a nacré coating over a mother-of-pearl disc. The hole is then drilled later. Button Pearls have imperfections in the nacré over 60% of its surface. Expect variations...they are not perfect!
Project Ideas: Absolutely a favorite bead we have used again and again as a button in our Poetry in Pearls project.
Sizing Info: Sizes vary! 11 - 13.5mm by 2.3 - 3.9mm thick, with a 0.9mm hole.
