I sell more pearls because women want to have colors to match their outfits. Whatever draws you in to becoming a pearl aficionado, is fine with me!

In my memory, I had taken a lot of photos of dyed pearls, but I only took a few. My tripod wouldn’t reach the top row, where most of the dyed pearls were situated. And the next one is similar to this one…hmmm…I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that I love chocolate colored pearls!

It’s amazing how fast the nacre gets layered on the bead. Interesting swirling patterns!
