My collection is growing!

Here's my new baroque akoya bracelet with earrings. 7.5mm dyed silvery blue. I also included a pair of freshwater baroque earrings 10mm.

I really love baroque pearls of all kinds. I'm more into freshwaters than akoyas, but baroque akoyas are so cool that I had to venture into that territory!

I need more pearls!

Nice bracelet and earrings! I think the silvery blue color is natural, not dyed.

Yes, Kay, very elegant! Love the double decker earrings. Also was thinking probably that is natural color akoya.

Those are really pretty. They look a lot like the ones we got ( many of us on this forum) a while back and they were naturally silver blue.

Thanks!

I assumed that they were dyed. It would be way cool if they were not. I love the color!

I've seen a lot of blue akoyas. Not only here, but elsewhere. I've never seen any that were advertised as dyed. Not blues, pinks, or goldens. Ask your vendor.
