Dyed.

More jeans a T-shirt pearls. This time blue baroque akoya necklaces and mismatched pastel Tahitian earrings. Dangle necklace from Takahashi. Strand from Pearls of Joy. Earrings from Kamoka. The photos are not capturing how blue all these pearls are. The wall behind me is green.

I have a couple of 30" necklaces with a similar look, but the small pearls are all the same length between the larger pearls, so there's not a swag effect. One necklace has rice krispie pearls between the larger lapis beads. The other necklace has teeny tiny keshi between graduated pearls...

Dyed black akoyas were a thing a long time ago. It was a way of selling pearls that weren't a good white color. I agree with ennui. If you're not sure you like them, then you don't. I also go with a gut reaction of WOWZA! or something like that. If I don't have that gut reaction, then I...

Jeans and a T-shirt pearls. I love mismatched Tahitian pearls. Earrings and pendants from Kamoka. Tin-cup Tahitian keshi from Kojima.

Some of my favorite Tahitian pearls. Black and white studs go with everything, even my white akoya pearls. 2019 All-Josh Harvest strand. All from the Kamoka pearl farm. I absolutely love this necklace and earrings. As much as I loved the look of the flower clasp that came with the necklace, I...

Visiting Dad today. Ombre' pearls. All from Kojima Pearl. Long ombre' tin-cup of white and gold South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls, and pink freshwater pearls. Long ombre ropoe of freshwater keshi going from white around my neck down to pink at the bottom. Freshwater pendants worn on my own...

I didn't realized these were ancient beads. My eyes skipped that sentence and went straight to the photos. Now I love the necklace even more!

I thought they looked like imitation pearls before I read Pattye's comments. Before cultured pearls came on the scene, and even afterwards, many women proudly wore imitation pearls. I have a necklace of faux pearls from my grandmother from the 1920s-40s era. Queen Alexandra in the late...

They look like dyed freshwater pearls to me too.
