I have heard from Yens that the pearl farmers have fixed the fading problem. They are using older mollusks now, and doing minimal if no processing on the pearls after harvest. There's no way of knowing if every farm has changed to the new process. There's no way for you to know if you're getting pearls from the new process or the old process. And, I don't know how long they've been doing the new process, so maybe they just take longer to fade now? Or maybe they don't fade now? I don't want to be the one to find out.
