hi, no they have had them for a few years I think. The silvery blue color is all natural, it's very unusual, I like it alot. I am selling because they are tight, and I figure someone else will wear them, better than them wasting in my jewel box. They have a nice weight to them too. (I hate typing with my ipad, I hit all the wrong keys. between that and the autocorrect it comes out awful!)
