Black pearls are not necessarily black. More often than not
they range from a light silvery to very dark gray, but they may also look green,
pink, lavender, blue, copper, bronze or golden. They can be round,
near-round, oval, drop, button, or baroque-shaped with one or more
circles, or be made as blister pearls or seedless, called keshis. The black pearls purchased from our shop
refer only to pearls of natural color from the black-lip
oyster called Pinctada margaritifera, and are not a result of
dyeing or other irradiation processes. The oysters are found naturally in
Seychelles waters as they also are in other parts of the world
like Tahiti.
Black pearls are normally priced according to their luster, color,
shape, surface perfection, size and nacre thickness.
