Chocolate pearls - yay or nay?

Chocolate pearls - yay or nay?

Are they really bleached blacks or do they dye them brown?

What hair/skin tones are best for it?

Would be a nice color to wear in the fall.

Thanks.

Hi, I am a ''yes'' on chocolate pearls

I had these earrings and necklace made last month - I think they can be for any coloring, you just need to get a shade that you like and that works for you (there is a fair amount of variation) - I chose more of a coppery brown as I didn''t really like the milky chocolate ones with my skin. I believe all chocolate pearls are color enhanced, not sure of the exact process. I set these in rose gold, the earrings are lever-backs w/ a small bezeled diamond.

Yikes, these are big pix and I''m not sure why - anyway, here is the necklace, it is on a rose gold chain, I did small diamond rondolettes to pop the pearls a bit.

Those are beautiful! I love the rose gold with the coppery brown color and diamond accents! It goes together so nicely

Wow! These are beautiful pearls!

I too am a fan of the brown but have not found the right ones for me yet...

There are natural colored bronze, or chocolate Tahitian pearls. Here's my lariat with a bronze and pistachio drop pearls. I love bronze pearls with rose gold and champagne diamonds!.

Bad picture - more coppery than depicted here.

TL, gorgeous lariat! I think pistachio colored pearls are so yummy

It is really rare to find chocolate pearls; most are dyed. I bought a dyed baroque strand that I love; it really a hot color and is fun to wear! So Yay here

I think they look great on everyone; especially redheads.

Here are mine

Thanks all. I love everything in the photos you posted.

Yes, I bet they would be awesome on a redhead. That is not I, though. (Highlighted brown with green eyes.)

I just ordered a pair of freshwater button chocolate earrings from Ice.com.

Skippy, I love your baroque strand!
