Shell Pearls are made from the inner lining of oyster shells also known as mother of Pearl. The substance is ground to a fine powder, dyed, shaped and coated with natural Pearl nacre and coating to give it a luster. The industry highly regulates the making of shell pearls and they will not lose their color or be affected by sweat or perfume. Indeed they are more durable than natural pearls.
I have made beaded jewelry for years. I am currently disbursing of the hundreds of of beads in my personal collection. There are lots of different types of single strands that I have had over 20 years. There are many one of a kind strands and the individual strands are marked with different numbers and in most listings you will receive the same strand of beads shown in the listing photograph. I am not a professional bead seller so if there is any information you need or questions please message me and I will answer promptly.
