How can you guess if the pearls are dyed?

 

[jshepherd]

They are definitely dyed. They are dyed Chinese freshwater pearls.

 

[Naan]

I really love this pearls I don know how much does it cost It was a gift

 

[Naan]

Thanks! How can you guess that the pearls are dyed?

 

[Caitlin]

Because Chinese freshwater pearls never, ever come in black, naturally. They must be dyed to get black. The black dye has a great color to it though, doesn't it?

 

[Naan]

Yes color is great
Thanks for all! But can Akoya be natural dark green or black (not white or cream)?

 

[zengirl]

I thought the black strand was actually pretty good looking. I really liked it.

 

[pattye]

Yes, I think the black pearls are pretty. At some point it would be good to restring them on black thread probably.

Naan, No, akoya pearls are never naturally dark green or black. They do come in a light silvery blue-gray which I find very pretty.

 

[Naan]

Thanks for all!
