English term or phrase: shell loop beads
Does anyone know what these are?

We are making a "Shell Loop Tassel"

and need "20mm natural shell loop beads"

among other things.

Unfortunately I have no picture or further description.

Thanks!!

Explanation:
M.E. handelt es sich um ein Schmuckstück 'tassel' aus Perlmutt, ggf. ein Ohrgehänge wie im Link, möglicherweise ist der Perlmutt in eine bestimmte (Tropfen)-Form gebracht 'bead'.

Garn gehört dazu, klar. Andere Perlen kann man auch mit auffädeln. Verwundern tut trim als Bestandteil - ist die Galanterie ein Oberbegriff der Quaste und nicht umgekehrt. Ich würde mich dahingehend konkretisieren, dass s.l.b. nicht Perlmuttperle bedeutet, sondern wohl eher Schnecken- oder Muschelgehäuse, die durchgeschnitten sind und dann einen Ring ergeben. "Muschelperlen"
