Hi...
(I'm new to this subject, so sorry if this has been covered before..)
I was looking at a couple of lab reports (one AGTA, the other GIA) and found them a bit lacking in info, especially GIA. Do the pearl pros here agree? Is this a problem? Do you care?
In the GIA report I saw, they only said "natural pearl", and didn't specify whether or not it was salt or fresh water. Is this odd?
And what about enhancements? I found an AGTA rpt that said "no evidence of color enhancement", but the strand in question was multicolored. I saw no comments about enhancement in reports on white-ish pearls.
Can't white-ish, cream colored pears be treated, enhanced too?
And one more question... I saw a couple of reports identifying "natural" freshwater pearls. How do they know this for sure since FWPs don't have beads in them?
Thanks!!
