Black South Sea Pearls ‘Captivate an Audience’ Like No Other Pearl
As a color, black is associated with a great many forms of display. When it comes to black pearls, elegance, luxury, mystery, strength and confidence are among the most powerful concepts that come to mind. As black is said to embody all of the colors of the rainbow, in the world of jewelry design, black pearls go extremely well with gold, allowing designers a greater degree of innovation and versatility.
Black pearls are not only gorgeous, they are also quite rare and highly valued. Black pearls are a popular component in ‘bespoke’ or custom designed jewelry. Today we’ll discuss more about where these beautiful, black pearls come from and how black pearls are commonly used in bespoke jewelry.
South Sea Pearls are recognized worldwide as one of the largest pearl types. Pearls are born in nature, and just as plants grow larger in warmer climates, South Sea Pearls grow larger thanks to the warm South Pacific ocean waters.
South Sea Pearls are also recognized for their notable satin look and finish compared to other pearls, ‘radiating’ with a ‘silk-like luster’ versus the ‘mirror-like luster’ of Akoya Pearls cultivated in Ise Shima Japan. Another visual analogy might be how a South Sea Pearl’s luster can be compared to a smooth and shiny metallic surface versus a more reflective mirror-like surface.
Black South Sea Pearls can also feature various colored overtones such as pink, gold, silver, green, blue, and sometimes, ‘peacock’ colors or a combination of multiple colors, often best appreciated under bright light.

The Most Common Black South Sea Pearl Shapes
Black South Sea Pearls come in a wide range of shapes, something to take into consideration, especially when personalizing your jewelry designs.
Round. This is one of the most common of pearl shapes, whether for regular or customized jewelry. Depending on size and other criteria, round pearls tend to be more highly valued than other pearl shapes.
Semi-Round. Semi-round pearls can still pass as ‘round’ on some occasions, and are often considered a less expensive round pearl option. Semi-round pearls are extremely similar to round pearls within a barely noticeable marginal error of 2-3%, which can only be confirmed under a loupe.
Button. The ‘button’ pearl shape is still spherical for the most part, but the variation of circumferential differences is more noticeable. Resembling ‘tall buttons,’ button-shaped pearls are most commonly incorporated into earring and pendant designs.
Teardrop. As the name implies, teardrop pearls resemble water droplets or tears, giving them an unusual look and feel. Teardrops are most commonly integrated into pendant and earring designs. Teardrop pearls also pair up extremely well with pearls of other shapes!
Baroque. As noted above, baroque pearls are perhaps the most distinctive of all pearl shapes. With their individually unique shapes, baroque pearls’ luster and glow are sometimes even more distinctive when compared to other round pearls!
