Geoff, found dyed Akoya but the sizes are smaller and not available in all sizes you want. Maybe you might be able to consider bluish natural colors Akoyas also, where I see better chances to find loose pearls in the sizes u want.
Dear Geoff, no problem to supply these size of Akoyas in the sizes you require but the color is the issue. Let me find out this for you and see if they can be dyed in this color and I will come back on this in a few days.
Many buy enhanced golden pearls, on Tuesday I had wholesalers over from Kobe, Japan and they had one bag of golden pearls and those were treated also. I don't buy them, but many shops do and when they tell their customers it is up to the decision of the buyer to buy or not.
