Description: Free eBay listing template designed by dewiso.com Mabe Pearl Cabochon backed with Mother of PearlColor - BronzeShape - RoundSize: about - 15mm to 16mmTreatment - Coloring/processing, polishingGrade- High Grade / High grade, characteristics: perfect shape, almost-perfectly-smooth surface and clean with almost no blemishes, and great luster.Origin: IndonesiaThis is genuine mabe pearl from Pteria Penguin / black winged pearl oyster shell.Mabe Pearls Develop On The ShellCultured mabes are grown intentionally, by using a hemispheric nucleus, rather than a round one; and by implanting it against the oyster's shell, rather than within its tissue. The pearl then develops in a hemispheric form, with a flat back. While in the oyster a mabe pearl is actually considered a blister pearl not a mabe pearl.I did not make these myself, these where brought in on trade.Creating Mabe PearlsAfter the blister pearl has developed, it is 'worked' to become a mabe pearl. Blister pearls are ‘worked’ by cutting the pearl out of the shell with a circle-bit drill. The nucleus is then removed and replaced with a resin. The back of the pearl is then capped with a piece of mother-of-pearl to complete the mabe pearl.Mabe Pearls, Perfect For JewelryCultured mabes are used for such things as rings and earrings, rather than for stringing on necklaces. They tend to be very beautiful with high luster and orient, but are priced much lower than round pearls. Shipping Returns Combined Shipping- You may have an open box for up to 30 days.

I have a lot of Mined Out, Old Stock, Rare to Very Rare and a ton of common and unknown. It is an addiction really.... I have about two ton of rough and around 1500 slabs. I figure it will take around 2 years to list it all on ebay, probably longer as I am also a lapidary and silversmith and this is a huge project. But if I don't plan to use it in my Jewelry it is going to a home that will use it. There is plenty of brilliant material that I just won't have time to work myself.
