The photo with the pearls is for demonstration purposes only. The pearls are the MIKIMOTO pearls available elsewhere in this auction. THIS LOT DOES NOT INCLUDE PEARLS.

Some of these treatments are temporary, and some are permanent. Which treatment(s) are used on a gemstone depends on the gemstone itself and the desired enhancement. These treatments include, but are not limited to: heating, oiling, irradiation, dyeing, impregnation & stabilization, bleaching, coating, diffusion, filling, and laser drilling.
