Black pearl jewelry is a true miracle that is representative of
man working with nature to create something beautiful. Black pearls originate from the South Seas,
more specifically the island of Tahiti.
South Sea pearls are known as being more expensive on the
cultured pearl price spectrum due to their desirability and large size (8mm-18mm+). However, of all
of South Sea pearl jewelry, black pearl jewelry is the least expensive.
Black pearl jewelry is available in a wide range of stunning colors from black, gray, blue,
green, and brown. Although color is a matter of personal taste, pearls with overtones such as blue,
pink, gold, silver, eggplant, and peacock green are generally more expensive.
In terms of cost, a
good rule of thumb to use is the darker the Tahitian black pearl, the more valuable and expensive
it will be with the finest black pearls having "peacock green" overtones. A solid black pearl with
no overtone is considered less valuable and can cost as much as 50% less than a pearl of similar
quality with overtones.
Your black pearl jewelry will add fashion and style to casual and professional outfits in
your wardrobe alike. To keep them looking great, be sure you note the following:
- Dirt and oil from your skin can corrode the nacre. To prevent this, wipe pearls with a damp
cloth often.
- Do not keep pearls in an air tight container. Pearls will crack if there is insufficient
moisture. Always include a damp cloth when storing your black pearl jewelry.
- Use only mild soap or acetone. Never use jewelry cleaner with ammonia
or vinegar.
- Only wear black pearl jewelry when you are done applying makeup or perfume. These products can eat
holes in the nacre of your black pearl. .
- Do not wear black pearls when the string is wet- this will attract dirt that is difficult to remove.
- If worn regularly, restring black pearl jewelry once a year.
