Freshwater Oval & Button Pearl Strands for Jewelry Designers
What is Potato and Button Pearl Strand?
Potato and button pearl strands feature softly irregular freshwater pearls that provide natural texture while maintaining commercial consistency.
These strands are widely used in contemporary collections where subtle variation is preferred over perfectly round shapes.
Selected for designers and brands requiring stable sizing and repeat sourcing capability.
Why Designers Choose Potato & Button Pearl Strands?
Commercially Balanced Variation
Unlike highly irregular baroque pearls, potato and button pearls offer gentle organic form while remaining suitable for structured designs.
Softer Visual Profile
Button pearls provide a slightly flattened silhouette, while potato pearls maintain rounded irregularity—both creating relaxed elegance without strong asymmetry.
Reliable Base for Ongoing Collections
Commonly used in core pearl necklaces, bracelets, and small-batch production lines requiring manageable variation and steady supply.
