Baroque Akoyas from PP April 2015 special

I think they are more interesting than a perfectly round strand, I don't have any round akoyas so I can't really make a comparison regarding luster between these and high grade akoyas,but the luster on these are definitely high.
I really like the rose overtones on my pearls, I would like to identify the shade of white on mine, will take some more photos in daylight.
Does anyone know if these are treated eg pinked like the usual akoyas?
 
I assumed the white ones were pinked. I haven't read anything one way or the other about that, though.
The blues are natural colored.

1/9/24 I am editing this post to add photos of the (pinker-white) baroque akoyas next to my (cooler-white) WSS baroques and the (warmer-white) metallic white FWP.
The color difference of these 3 strands is most visible against the white background.

I have also found that these baroque akoyas go quite well with my GIA certified Hanadama studs (which are not natural white, therefore must be pinked.) The studs are smaller, of course, but the color tone matches well and I can-- and do-- wear them together. One of these days I'll photograph the baroque akoyas side by side with the GIA Hanadama studs and upload that photo too.

Kelluvpearls those look beautiful -- not that I am surprised, though :)

Please post neck shots! Did you get them shortened? I'm still thinking about whether to shorten my blues or not.
 
Hi mine are just a bit more than 17 inches, PP took 2 pearls out for the blue strand and 3 pearls out for the white strand, had these made into earring charms.
 
They are gorgeous and look stunning on you! More photos please kelluvpearls!
 
Thanks kelluvpearls! They look great on you... And not that short. Thanks, that's helpful, I will definitely shorten the blue strand.
