The POLLEN BEADS are characterized by two rows of seed beads sewn around each edge and large pearls that protrude from the surface. Beneath the pearls and glowing Japanese Miracle beads are layers of wrapped and sewn metallic and cotton threads. These beads are used on my most affordable necklace: SIMPLE GOBBLE NECKLACE. (They are also available made entirely from semiprecious stones and pearls for a bit more.)
