Thanks for confirming!

What would be your best guess is this a natural blue color? Or just a decent dye job? The seller is calling them blue akoyas. (I'm assuming they're likely dyed but thought I'd double check on the off chance that they're not) Please excuse the less than stellar photos, this necklace is one I...

Thanks 😊

I'm thinking of possibly acquiring this strand and thought before I did I'd ask here to see if they pass the "sniff test" as Tahitian pearls or not. While I love the look of circled Tahitian pearls I'm not familiar enough with them to say yes these are Tahitian or no they're not, and before I...

None of the imperfections in the pearls show any obvious dye accumulation even under a loupe. On pearls where I would expect to find accumulation like the one that is slightly damaged below there is none, the dark spots you can see are only shadows caused by other imperfections and when the...

I picked these up recently because the colour has me quite stumped. They're a silvery grey though in some lights they have almost a blueish purple tinge to them and the pearls themselves range between 9.5mm and 11mm. My question is are they dyed? Or is this colour natural? Since the drill...
