| Hi,
I am new to this forum and travel yearly to Beijing and purchase pearls for myself and friends.
I have studied a bit but in this case I am at a loss.
I have seen these platinum blue akoya pearls for years and this year decided to buy them.
They are 7.- 8 mm with a definate blue color. The orient is magnificent.
I looked to see any dye at the drill hole and see none.
They have a few "bubbles" but very small on only a few of the pearls.
I am now wondering if they are indeed Akoya. Can I expect the color to change? I have been working with this vender for over 10 years and have always been pleased with my purchases. I get my more expensive pearls appraised at a reputable appraising company but do not know much about these types of pearls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Laura |
