The inventory of pearls at Beadworks is one of the most comprehensive you will find anywhere, whether you are looking for freshwater pearls, akoya pearls, keshi or cultured pearls. Beadworks co-founder, Nancy Alden brings her creative talents to the world of pearls with dozens of pearl jewelry designs that highlight the design possibilities of this natural wonder. Myriad forms of freshwater pearls and south sea pearls find expression in classic, dramatic and casual styles.

Beadworks offers one of the finest selections of pearls in all colors, pearl shapes and sizes. Quality natural pearls are very rare jewels. The actual value of a natural pearl is the same as other "precious" gemstones, and depends on size, shape and quality. Jewelry made using pearls adds items of lasting value to your collection.
Pearls are usually white, sometimes with a creamy or pinkish tinge, but may be tinted any number of colors. Black pearls, frequently referred to as Black Tahitian Pearls, are highly valued because of their rarity; the culturing process for them dictates a smaller volume output and can never be mass produced.
Whether you prefer a classic single strand or a funky combination of pearls and semi-precious materials, Simply Pearls shows you how to create pearl necklaces that are easy to make yet look both expensive and professionally made.
