Knitted Pearl Beads

September 18, 2010 at 11:18 am | Beads

These freshwater pearl beads are a little offbeat and unusual, the peacock ones look rather like luscious blackberries.

Knitted Pearl Beads

Known as knitted pearl beads they look very smart threaded on to a fine snake chain and I have seen them used in some pretty spectacular earring making projects! So if you are looking for something a little different then these could be the beads for you.
