In fact, there are two kinds of PayPal beads: one is made of the shell of a large shellfish. After polishing and pickling, the luster and surface texture are close to those of pearls. But this is really just a shell. We call it colored glass pearls.

The other is the combination of shell powder and enamel powder, which will be mistaken for pearls by ordinary consumers. We call it enamel pearls.

It can be seen that no matter what kind of PayPal beads are imitations of pearls, it is completely different from what we often say that pearls are made of shells.
