8MP653: MOP Natural Round 8mm is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
These 8mm natural Mother of Pearl rounds bring genuine shell material to your work — organic, warm, and consistent enough in size to string, stack, or set with confidence.
Each bead carries the soft, naturally varied tones of real shell, landing somewhere in the browns, tans, and golds family with the subtle iridescence MOP is known for.
Specifications
- Size: 08mm
- Color: MOP Natural
- Material: Mother of Pearl
What to make with them
String them into single-strand or layered necklaces where the earthy palette does the heavy lifting, or use them as focal spacers in beaded bracelets alongside wood, bone, or matte stone beads for a grounded, natural aesthetic.
Natural materials vary in color, pattern, and size. The beads you receive may differ slightly from the product photos — this is a characteristic of natural materials, not a defect.
Pickup currently unavailable at 8535 Commerce Place Drive NE Ste A
