Tahitian Pearls?

[PurpleFigLover]

Could you please help me identify these pearls? Are they Tahitian? Also, how would you rate the quality of the pearls based on the pictures? Thanks

I believe these are dyed Chinese freshwater pearls. On the close-ups you can see that the surface is blemished and dull. They are not the best quality pearls. Hope this helps.

Bead nucleated freshwaters with very thin nacre (see this bare patch), photographed under studio lighting to bring out the colors. Certainly not good quality.

I agree with Pella and Pearl Dreams. Such intense blue purple colors are typical of dyed pearls, not Tahitians.
