French term

perles de rocaille

I have a rather disjointed text to translate on bead jewellery. Its one of those kits you buy where you get a few beads, some thread and some instructions and you can make your own rings, necklaces etc... I have very few pictures to guide me, and I am lost on a couple of phrases. I wonder whether anyone could assist!

Perles de Rocaille

I am afraid there is no context, other than that this type of bead is used in just about all the jewellery described, and they come in different colours...

Thanks!
