Hi Again, Tanakarn,

Now we have a little more information! I realize you choose a photo to show color, not necessarily the pearl quality. If the pearls were truly Hanadama, they would have an accompanying certificate of which the sales person most certainly would have advised you. You might want to review the Hanadama Akoya Pearls article. They certainly could be high quality freshwater pearls. The cost is a bit low in my mind for top quality Akoya, but not that size in freshwater. And freshwater are getting very round.

There are also some techniques of adding irridescent finishes to gems and pearls, and though I hope it would not be the case here, I have seen many gems on ebay listed as "mystic" whatever, meaning a special coating has been applied.

IMHO,
Pattye
so many pearls, so little time
