March 31, 2006, Newsletter Issue #32: Overtones Can Change the Shade

Tip of the Week

The main color of a pearl is its body color. Freshwater pearls are known for their beautiful iridescent orient (the rainbow effect of peacock pearls, for example) but they are NOT particularly known for their overtones, and that includes rice pearls. Traditional saltwater pearls are more notable for their overtones. While overtones are common, especially in the freshwater rice pearl, there are many other pearls with no overtone. Overtone can depend on the animal, the nucleus, and many other conditions. So, overtones aren't unique, but they are another aspect of color to consider when you choose your freshwater pearl.
