Pearls are the oldest known form of decoration. In many of my things pearls of all varieties, genuine and plastic can be a beautiful set together. I have in my work learnt not to dismiss synthetic materials and only use "natural" materials. When it has not been possible to find a natural pearl, I have gone on to chose a pretty plastic pearl. If the item should for example be light weight, then synthetic materials are ideal.
