I don't dye them myself, but you can buy dyed pearls from places like Fire Mountain Gems. But if I did try, I'd get the dyes and fixatives from Dharma Trading Co. in Berkeley, CA.

I am looking for spherical pearl (or pearl-like) buttons--you know, like the kind on long gloves--but in a smoky gray color, not white. Does anyone know of a source?
