Black Pearls

Nothing is more exotic than black pearls...

Especially the large Tahitians...a single pearl makes a statement...without words!

As far as black pearls go....there's nothing quite like the larger Tahitian pearls!

I've added a variety of gorgeous Tahitian Pearl Pendants with diamonds for you to purchase.

If 18K white gold and diamonds melded with Tahitian pearls sound perfect, then you'll love these Tahitians on 18K with diamonds.

Freshwater pearls can also be black, but more often are dyed this color. Often they aren't really black, but gray, sometimes a tint of blue, or purple and sometimes iridescent.

We live a few miles from the Mississippi River and divers sometimes harvest the clam shells to sell overseas to be used as nuclei for starting sea pearls. One diver I spoke with said he's found lots of mostly elongated black pearls in the Mississippi Clams.

Years ago these clams were harvested in this area in vast amounts and used for making mother of pearl buttons. (Our city, Muscatine, Iowa, was once called "The Pearl Button Capital of the World" and now has its motto, "Pearl on the Mississippi." You can read more about clam harvesting and mother of pearl buttons on this site. One strand of dyed freshwater pearls that I often wear almost appears to change in color---against a blue shirt, they look very blue. My friends commented on it...although they'd seen the necklace before...suddenly it looked like a new color.

This lovely elegant black pearl necklace will enhance the owner with richness.

Pirates on the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

And of course, by now, most of us have heard of the famous ghost ship...."The Black Pearl"....and have Johnny Depp's winning pirate personality engrained in our minds and hearts. He did nothing short of stealing the show in "Pirates of the Caribbean." Don't you agree? No wonder that he was nominated as Best Actor at the Oscars. The movie was also nominated for Best Visual Effects, Best Make-up, Best Sound, and Sound Editing.
