These Cultured Freshwater Half Pearls bring that timeless elegance to your bench in a precise, flat-backed form suited for setting work, inlay, and decorative applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCultured pearls are produced through the intentional insertion of a bead or piece of tissue into a mollusk, which then coats the nucleus with successive layers of nacre. Freshwater cultured pearls are grown in lakes and ponds — with China and the United States among the leading sources — and are prized for their wide range of shapes, sizes, and luster. Most pearls also display an iridescent phenomenon known as orient, a soft play of color within the nacre layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePearl is the birthstone of June, making these half pearls a natural choice for custom birthstone jewelry and gift pieces. Their flat back and round form make them well-suited for bezel setting, adhesive mounting, and flush inlay designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean with warm, soapy water only.
