Tahitian Black Pearls

Black Pearls, frequently referred to as Tahitian Black Pearls, are very exotic and luxurious looking and they are becoming the new fashion trend. They are highly valued because of their rarity; the culturing process for them dictates a smaller volume output and can never be mass produced.  They derive their lustrous color from the grayish-black nacre of the shell of the black-lipped oyster, known as the ‘Pinctada Margaritifera,’ found in the French Polynesian waters. Only pearls from this oyster can carry the designation of Tahitian Black Pearl.  Completely natural black pearls occur only about once in every 15,000 oysters.  Cultured pearls, produced around the world, account for about 90 percent of all pearl sales. 

Quality

The actual value of Black Pearls is determined by various factors, including size, shape, surface, orient and luster.  Color is not usually a factor in determining price and is a matter of taste: it can range from deep black through silver grey and into white.  The size can vary from eight millimeters to 20 millimeters with the larger pearls that much more expensive.  Black pearls are often larger than white pearls, since the oysters are much bigger to begin with, and the growing time is longer. 

Black Pearls as a Gift

To this day, a gift of black pearls is a gift of romance and is a sign of eternal love - the ultimate romantic gift for lovers. Extremely rare, black pearls were cherished by Tahitian Royalty as gift of the gods. Black pearls are associated with high luxury and class in jewelry, and many prestigious necklaces and bracelets of royalty and the elite contain black pearls of large size.  They make exceptional accessories, especially for business and evening wear. They have the same elegance as white pearls but have that certain exquisiteness and exotic touch that make them simply irresistible.
