Cut from the golden lip mother-of-pearl shell, they are a natural, warm tawny color with a rainbow flash. Mother-of-pearl shell will vary in color from white to ivory in a variety of hues.
So named because the end view of the married shell beads resembles ancient keeled boats, such as Noah's Ark. Vivid dark teal with a subtle, metallic sheen, they're alive with possibility. Lightweight shells are permanently bonded and colorfast.
