Yes, but whenever possible always try to shoot photos using a more "neutral" colored background and some close-ups! But yes! Chines freshwater pearls, non-beaded.

I wish...for so many things! One of those would be this!

I was looking for a few other "reds" I had...found one! The one on the front-left is another "red" Sometimes the violet is less intense and a bit more "pink" and they will look like these:
