We are considering this necklace by Tasaki, but the vendor photos are terrible and so far, I've not been able to get any better ones. They are billed as Grey pearls and nothing else. I got an opinion from Douglas but would appreciate more if possible. Thanks in advance!
Do these look like Akoyas?

They look like lavender to me, not gray. If so, freshwaters.
Bead nucleated FWP?

Right! That's what is confusing me! I asked for pics on a white background but so far no luck. The luster is a little dull for Akoyas to me as well?

I see them as lavender as well but then, are Akoyas even grey? It seems to me they come in blueish / silver, not anything this strongly grey - if I saw it as grey. A lot of the pearls also seem potato shaped but that could be the angle. I agree on the luster. With good Akoya you would be able to the surroundings mirrored in the pearls.

Yes, its a bad photo due to the background...it will wash away many features of the pearls. It looks like a lovely necklace, but not gray and still look like FWP to me.
