Ha, I'm guessing Pearlgully guessed right about Zeide.

They are freshwaters no doubt.

However, I have a question about SS pearls. Are there some that have colors other than white or black?

A few months ago I was in the shop of a jeweler who makes very nice handcrafted jewelry. This man brought out a small tray of button shaped stud earrings that looked to me like natural colored CFWP. The jeweler insisted these were Indonesian SSP and brought out some literature-- a catalog-- showing these, with high suggested retail prices (about $600 per pair.) I made some vague remarks and left (without buying!)

Are there in fact Indonesian pearls of varied natural colors? Would these be considered South Sea pearls?

I wonder if Strack addresses this...? *going to look*
