White Akoya is bleached to remove color and bleaching of the natural overtone emerges.

Pearl Overtone

Overtone is almost transparent color that appears to float as a small circle on the surface of the pearl. For Akoya pearls may be a hint of pink, blue, green, ivory or silver. Overtone can be made from these colors more than one. Pink and blue combination overtones a bit pink seems to be highly valued. Up to three references may be combined on the same gem.

Pearls seem to change color when a different color or surface view under different lighting. Natural daylight is the best light to see what color the pearl really is. Direct sunlight is not advised to look at the pearls, but stood by the window on a cloudy day should show the true color of pearls and features. However, as the light will vary depending on the latitude and time of day, usually with artificial white light commonly used. For best results, neutral white light with a light color of 4700 Kelvin to 5000 is preferable.

Pearls should always be viewed on a white background to see the subtle color differences. Even fingerprints can change the color of the perceived slight, the pearl should be clean before choosing the color you want to meet.
