Glass Pearl Wedding Necklaces

Contemporary bridal necklaces that look like real pearls

Where brides are looking for a more contemporary style of bridal pearl necklace, these are often more readily available in glass pearls . This type of "faux" pearl is created by coating the glass bead - usually perfectly round or teardrop-shaped - in a substance known as "pearlessence". This is basically a compound which contains crushed pearls, so it retains the lustrous quality of real pearls and can be ivory, white, or coloured. Glass pearls look deceptively like real pearls and are frequently mixed with crystals and chains.
