More about these pearls
A gray pearl is a dyed pearl.
Freshwater cultured pearls in any color other than white are dyed â that is the standard way the trade produces them, it is permanent, and it needs no special care beyond the above. Each product page states the treatment. Gray sits between the white and the black strands and reads as silver against most skin tones.
Shapes.
Near-round is the closest to a true sphere without the Akoya price; semi-round and rice shapes are slightly irregular, which is what gives a strand its movement and costs less for the same diameter.
Nacre and luster.
Nacre is the only part of a pearl anyone sees â the layers the mollusc lays down around the nucleus. Thicker nacre gives the deep inner glow that separates a good pearl from a shiny one, and it is also what perfume, hairspray and chlorine attack.
Looking after them.
Pearls are soft, about 2.5 on the Mohs scale against a diamondâs 10. Put the piece on last, after scent and cosmetics, wipe it with a soft damp cloth after wearing, and keep it away from an ultrasonic cleaner for good.
