| Just for good measure here are some earrings I found on the web. Guess what they are. They are not quite as colorful as Tk1's picture, but almost. They are (very cheap) glass pearls with awful wrappings and poor photography, but I think they are a pearlescent color.
Maybe Swaravski per se does not sell iridescent pearls, but I saw quite a few of them on a trip to San Francisco, in those "wholesale" jewelry buildings full of small shops. I bought some in other colors than the pearlescent white, from a retail shop, but that color was there. Since the shops were all Chinese owned, they may not be Swaravski brand.
The peacock colored "pearls" were astounding. They would be worth a fortune, not the $35.00 they quoted, if real. I reported this here a couple of years ago, because the vendors tried to tell me they were real pearls. They were way too perfect in shape and a bit too heavy for the size (10mm)
