There are brown Tahitian pearls, but they do not look much like the chocolates. It would be possible to create a strand of brown, or at least a brown overtone.

I think there is definitely a market for untreated freshwater and on a smaller scale untreated akoya. The trick with the freshwater is collecting it at the right moment, and having the facility to match and drill. You will see more of the exotic untreated colors soon ...
