https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/How-blue-are-blue-akoyas/m-p/105042#M8102 <P>Another question for the pearl experts. I plan to start my search for a blue akoya suite soon and have started educating myself on what to expect. I had a conversation with my jeweler yesterday (a very good goldsmith, but not a pearl expert), and he said blue akoyas are really more silvery-gray. Since most jewelry stores don't carry them, I'll most likely have to buy online, sight unseen. So I want to be prepared for how they should look. Does anyone have blue akoyas? What should I expect the best ones to look like in terms of body color and overtone?
