Frequently asked questions

Are black pearl necklaces made from real black pearls?

Most black pearl necklaces use Tahitian cultured pearls with a dark body color and natural peacock, green, aubergine, silver or blue overtones. The color is part of the nacre, not a dye.

What makes a Tahitian pearl necklace valuable?

Value depends on luster, surface quality, overtone, size, roundness, matching and clasp material. Large, clean, high-luster strands with strong peacock or green overtones are usually rarer.

Should I choose a black pearl and diamond necklace?

Choose a black pearl and diamond necklace if you want a dressier piece with extra sparkle around the clasp or pendant. For everyday wear, a classic Tahitian pearl strand is usually easier to style.

What size Tahitian pearl necklace should I buy?

8-10mm pearls are refined and wearable, 10-12mm pearls feel more luxurious, and 12mm+ pearls make a stronger statement. Larger pearls are rarer and normally increase the price.
