Petal Pearls for Jewelry Design
What Are Petal Pearls?
Petal pearls are a type of freshwater pearl known for their flat, organic, petal-like shapes. Unlike traditional round pearls, they feature soft curves and natural asymmetry, making them especially suitable for jewelry designers seeking unique, expressive materials.
Each pearl has its own natural variation, yet when carefully selected, they create a harmonious and design-friendly visual rhythm.


They are:
- Flat to slightly curved shapes
- Natural, organic outlines
- Each pearl is visually unique yet harmonious
