Freshwater Pearls are often dyed into a variety of colours including white, pink, silver, cream, green, blue and black. They also come in a variety of shapes such as round, rice, potato, nugget, coin, Keshi and stick. The more perfectly round they are, the more desirable and therefore the more expensive they become.
