Terry: Can I ask a question re: definition of treatment? I've been purchasing from Stachura for a number of years. I know that when they say natural color, they mean natural untreated color. The only way I would accept that the blue-grey pearls aren't natural untreated color is if Stachura was deceived by their supplier. They are second generation pearlers, so I would think it would be hard to deceive them.
White FWP are labeled natural color as well, but don't they undergo bleaching to enhance their whiteness?
So, that being the case, is bleaching considered a treatment?
