All this has totally inspired me to purchase a Sea of Cortez pearl. It's silver with lavendar/pink overtones. 8.8 to 9.2mm I think. Just a little guy. Not here yet. Definitely not brown.
I can't wait.
This was a wonderful post that led to the purchase of a Sea of Cortez pearl (from Carolyn) that is just yummy. It looks lavendar with silver and pink overtones. The goal is to make a pendant out of it. There may even be pics someday.
