I discovered faceted pearls less than a year ago, although after researching I learned that they were popular in the late 90′s. In the jewelry store I was told that only Tahitian pearls could be faceted because of their density. This is not true. It may be, however, that Tahitian pearls are easier to create a symmetric facet with.

I read that faceted pearls take a long time to make, and in 1998 the demand was much higher than any possibility of production. In 1998 according to my sources it took one person a working day to facet 6 pearls. I am not sure how easy they are to produce, although I guess very easy- I found many on a website selling for $10-$15.

I am guessing they are not the thing right now but rather more of a personal taste.

I found many faceted freshwater pearl necklaces online. Many of them were not to my liking.

The above teal faceted strand is not bad.

This mother of pearl faceted necklace is a wow-ser. I love the burnished gold color of the beads, and the facets allow the pearl to catch the light ever so much more.

I’m in favor of these faceted beads.

Have you heard of faceted pearls? What do you know? Do you like them?
