We offer additional oyster purchases in our "pearl" tab. Here you will find our amazing Monster oysters which come with 20-40 natural pearls. Also, many people want to add extra oyster openings to their order to add to the variety of colored pearls they get to choose from for their jewelry piece. You can order a single oyster, or a bundle which comes with 5 oysters for the price of 4! ​​ We do offer natural colored pearls if you prefer those over the colored pearls, just select "natural pearl" when adding an item to you cart to guarantee the pearl you receive is in the white, cream, peach, pink, or lavender range, also remember that black and gold, although rare, are possible natural colors you may receive. ​​ If you choose a colored pearl, natural colors are still a possibility, among a wide and beautiful array of other colors (check out our oyster page to see examples of the colors!)

Yes! The pearls are 100% naturally made by the oyster, however during the process, dye is introduced which allows the nacre that builds up around the grain of sand that eventually turns into a pearl is producing a color. But we also carry classic color pearls where the oyster decides the color of the pearl. You will find this with our Monster Oysters, all of which contain between 20-40 naturally sized and colored pearls, ranging from your classic whites to creams, peach, soft pinks, lavender (our favorites!), and the rare gold! We also carry classic colored Edison pearls which are larger (9mm+) than the standard 6-8mm Akoya round pearls
