I really cannot imagine why they (Nordstroms) would make this piece with dyed, lower than commercial grade Akoya...ugh!

The only thing I see going for it is the fact that each link has apparently been hand-twisted on wire. Using baroque Tahitians would be such a better choice - so much more valuable and pleasing to the eye. I am just not a huge fan of baroque Akoya I guess...
