Cotton pearls are made in Japan. “Cotton Pearl” is made by compressed cotton with pearl coating instead of urea resin or glass, so the weight of the beads is much lighter than the usual pearls.
The cotton pearl used to be quite popular during the art deco period. The story goes, women wanted to wear many layers of pearls, but genuine pearls would've weighed too heavy. So the cotton pearl was created to provide a lighter more organic alternative. It disappeared from the market for decades until recent years as a material.
Since the pearls are made with cotton, they are not waterproof.
