Adding my evaluation here, clearly CFP dyed "peacock" black, an attractive mix of colors. Tahitians are drilled perpendicular to the rings, another big clue that these dyed freshwater.

Pearl Dreams, your strand is quite amazing and require a close look to recognize as freshwater!

The colors give them away, though.

Some years back Jeremy had a small lot, rare strands of amazing blue body Tahitians from Rikitea. Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone posting photos of them lately.

Years ago ... but I still have a picture! I added a blue pearl education section to our site last week - it took me a while to find this photo in our archives. I needed something to show Tahitian true blues - https://www.pearlparadise.com/pages/natural-blue-pearls

WOWZA! Those colors are unreal.

No surface depth, brushed metallic as opposed to opal in appearance.

Black holes present with colour rubbing off onto the string while adjacent nacre is worn to white at high spots near the holes.

These are dyed FWPs.
