Q: I am looking for a christmas gift for my girlfriend and came across your website. I am thinking about purchasing the 18" AAA grade 7-8mm black freshwater pearl necklace and was curious if every pearl has a different overtone? I noticed that the picture on your website shows each pearl a different hue. I also noticed that the black Akoya pearls dont seem to have this. I am completely new to pearl buying so any information is a huge help! Also, are there any coupons I could print out before I order?
A: You are correct, the overtones on each pearl is a little different on the black freshwaters. The pearls are treated to give them the dark colouration and each pearl will react differently. The freshwater and Akoya pearls are treated in much the same manner but because of the difference in physical and mineral properties of the pearl types, the end result is not the same. Freshwater pearls will end up in a more varied range of overtones whereas the Akoya pearls seem to take the treatment in a much more uniform fashion.
When you place your first order, you will receive a gift certificate for $10.00 which can be used on your next order. We also offer a special item each month that will be changed on or around the first of each month. When you have placed your first order, you may also elect to be added to our mailing list and receive occasional email notices about any special promotions we may be offering. There are only a few of these each year so you will not be inundated with promotions and advertisements, you may also discontinue these emails at any point.
