simulated pearl
Imitation iridescent sphere
A simulated pearl is an artificial bead made to resemble a real pearl, typically plastic or glass coated with a pearlescent substance.
Unlike cultured pearls, which form in oysters around an inserted nucleus, simulated pearls are entirely manufactured: The necklace was made of simulated pearls but looked elegant from a distance.
Also called faux pearls or imitation pearls.
