FAQs

What are Preciosa crystal pearls made from?

Each Preciosa crystal pearl is built around a solid crystal core, which is then coated in layer after layer of nacre until it has the depth and lustre of a natural pearl. That crystal core is what sets them apart from standard glass pearls, giving a more realistic finish and a lovely even shape. They're made in the Czech Republic by Preciosa, and we're proud to stock them as an authorised Preciosa Partner.

What's the difference between Pearlescent White and White?

Preciosa White is a clean, bright white with a classic pearl effect finish. Pearlescent White comes from Preciosa's pearlescent range, which has a softer, more luminous glow. It's a popular choice for bridal work where you want a gentle shimmer rather than a stark white. If you're not sure which suits your project, drop us a message and we'll happily help you choose.

What size pearl beads should I use for jewellery making?

It depends on the piece. 4mm and 5mm pearls are ideal for delicate earrings, spacers and bead embroidery. 6mm and 8mm are the most versatile sizes for necklaces and bracelets. 10mm and 12mm work well in chunky necklaces, tiaras and feature pieces, and many designers mix two or three sizes in one design for a graduated look.

What can I thread these pearls onto?

Each pearl is fully drilled with a hole of around 1mm, so they thread easily onto beading elastic, tigertail wire, nylon thread and silk cord. They also sew neatly onto fabric.

Will the pearl coating wear off?

Not with normal wear. Preciosa crystal pearls are highly resistant to abrasion, UV light and alcohol-based perfumes, so the nacre coating stays intact far longer than a standard coated glass pearl. For the longest life, store finished pieces away from direct sunlight and put jewellery on after applying perfume or hairspray.
