Violet Peacock Freshwater Pearl Handcrafted Earrings
These Violet Peacock Freshwater Pearls are wire-wrapped in copper for a look that resembles black pearls. These organic gems come in a variety of colors, so feel free to contact me to see which colours are available. Freshwater Pearls form in mollusks and not in the earth like many other gemstones. Foreign objects, such as grains of sand or parasites, become embedded in the mollusk's tissue which is then covered by layers of pearly material. Similar to an onion, the Pearl will acquire more and more layers, growing larger in size. The many folds of this organic material produce an iridescent sheen, making the Pearl one of nature's most unique beauties. Unlike imitation Pearls, natural Pearls often boast slight irregularities, adding to their charm and value.
Chakra: Third Eye.
Birthstone: June, Gemini and Cancer.
