Coloured Freshwater Pearls

Coloured freshwater pearls have the largest natural array of colours, including white, peach, orange and pink. Their coloration could be achieved naturally prior to formation, by irradiation, controlling the mussel’s diet, its environment and augmenting its genetics. Alternatively, their colour could be changed synthetically through dying.
