Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Tourmaline and Peterite (if I remember correctly), on a beaded kumihimo braided necklace. The little seed pearls are probably glass beads, but they look like pearls.

Love the reborn keshi look. Keshi are one of my favorite pearls.

I'm a little embarrassed now after finding out the real meaning of reborn pearls. I spent years assuming reborn pearls were ones that were taken off their original strand and reused.

After a cultured pearl is removed, the oyster or clam or mussel is returned to the water and a new pearl grows in the old pearl sac without having been seeded with new mantle tissue and without a new bead. The pearl is 100% nacre, but usually not round. Mine look roundish in the middle where the pearl sac held the original cultured pearl, and then flat and long where the slit was made for the insertion or removal of the pearl, I think.
