A Variety of Black Pearls to Choose From
Below are some of the most popular black pearl options for your jewelry designs.
Black Akoya Pearls. Like all Akoya Pearls, Black Akoya Pearls are sustainably cultivated in Ise Shima Japan as they have been for over 130 years.
Black Akoya Pearls are known for radiating a blue grayish color and range in size from 3 mm to 8mm. Black Akoya pearls are also well known for their ‘virtually perfect’ round shapes with bright and exceptional luster.
Commonly called ‘Japanese Pearls’ in the West, Akoya Pearls are one of the world’s premier pearls. Akoya pearls’ high quality often dictates higher prices. Ranging in sizes from 2-10mm, regardless of color, Akoya pearls have a natural elegance that aligns so well with gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and other precious materials.
As with all Akoya Pearls, gentle and lightweight in touch and feel, Black Akoya Pearls tend to match especially well with warmer color skin tones and clothing.
Black South Sea Pearls. Cultivated in the warm south Pacific Ocean waters, South Sea Pearls are best-known as the world’s largest sustainably cultivated pearls, ranging in sizes from 8mm to 17mm, with 9-11mm pearls being the most common. Of all the colors available, ‘Black South Sea Pearls’ are the rarest, especially among larger and smoother pearls
Black South Sea Pearls can also display a wide array of color overtones which are highly prized..
South Sea Black pearls are cultivated in Okinawa, Japan and French Polynesia. Sometimes called Tahitian Pearls because Tahiti is the export hub of French Polynesia.
Choosing the Best Black Pearl Jewelry Designs
Now having decided on the type of pearls you would like to incorporate into your necklace design, next comes choosing the appropriate pendant with numerous types and styles to choose from. It is typically most appropriate for the color of the pendant to match or complement the color of the chain. Black pearls tend to go especially well with silver chains of white gold or platinum. In jewelry design, black pearls are often the ‘focal point’ of a design, so the chain takes on a subordinate role, so as not to divert attention from the pearls.
Hair length and style helps to determine a necklace’s neckline. Shorter necklaces (40-45cm) meld better with daily or formal fashion while longer chains (60-80cm) tend to be a better match with designs for casual or special occasions.
Black Pearl Jewelry For Any Occasion
Due to their suitability for virtually any occasion, having an heirloom quality black jewelry design as a go-to piece in your wardrobe is highly recommended. Not only are Black Pearl Jewelry Designs sure to turn heads, designs incorporating black pearls never go out of style, maintaining their luxurious look and feel for a lifetime and beyond.
