Pearls take on the colors of the animals that produce them. Lavender rice pearls, for example take on their delicate shades from the mantle of the producing mollusk, but even water conditions and the type of nucleus used to grow the pearl can influence the final color. Lavender rice pearls can be dyed, but they can also occur naturally. To see if they are dyed, look into the drill hole and see if you can see a concentration of color. That's a good indication the pearls are dyed and not naturally colored.
