Freshadama Pearl Overtones

Freshadama Freshwater Pearl EarringsQ: The website I am looking at is for 10.0-11.0 mm white Freshadama Freshwater Pearl Stud Earings "FDE500".
What type or kind of overtone is show on this picture? Is it silver, rose,or ivory?


A: The photo shows a pair of earrings that have a rose overtone. If you look at the reflection around the light source, you can see a pinkish 'halo' and that really shows the overtone. The silver overtone will be a cool, optic white and the ivory overtone has a creamy, almost antique color.

The luster is fantastic. They look like akoya pearls.

Unbelievable. I always thought freshwater pearls were supposed to be shaped like potato or crisp cereal.
