Off White Souffle Straight Drilled Baroque Freshwater Pearls are cultured with an organic substance in the center which is removed when the pearl is harvested. This process leaves the large outer shape of the pearl intact, thick, stable, & with a thicker nacre than a normal pearl. Souffle pearls have nice luster with nacre irregularities, show an iridescent orient, are matched for color, show irregular shapes on the strand, and have a near weightless heft allowing for a variety of jewelry options. 16 inches in length with 13 beads measuring approximately 24x18mm - 33x26mm
