Seed Pearl

seed pearl | ˈsēd pər(-ə)l

noun

A very small pearl popular during the Victorian period as accents set into gold jewelry or woven into long fringed necklaces

Seed pearls were popularized during the Victorian era as a means to accent more elaborate pieces of gold jewelry or long fringed necklaces. They are still popular today and are most often incorporated into larger designs that can include jewelry and other types of highly sought after materials. They are found on diverse items like Faberge Eggs, studding in other types of jewelry designs, as bands for brooches and bracelets, and as accents in necklaces, rings and other settings. Because of their smaller size, they are highly flexible materials that can be implemented across modern pieces, and are commonly found in antiques.
