Quality Speaks for Itself
Among their favorites are black Tahitian pearl earrings. It stands out among the rest because of its exotic origin. Discovered in Tahiti, an island found in South Pacific Ocean, these pearls are farmed right out of its coast.
Pearl sizes vary from 5-9 millimeters. Actually, they are not entirely black. In fact, most of them are radiant dark gray or grayish black. Some even have overtones of red, chocolate, peacock, or medium green. Growers say that the variation in color and quality depends on the food availability and water temperature. So aside from its white sands and blue waters, Tahiti Island is also known for these fantastic pearls.
You see, pearls develop inside the shell of a mollusk or oyster. Their natural defense mechanism wraps an invader with "nacre" completely until a pearl is created. But since this process does not occur frequently, humans studied the pearl formation and initiated the introduction of irritants to create pearls faster. This started a very big industry which is still growing today.Now, if you are wearing black Tahitian pearl earrings, you don't need to say a word and its quality will shine through.They could fetch a price anywhere from hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Choose Wisely
When shopping for pearls, beware of imitation pieces. They are usually made
of glass, plastic, or other man-made materials. These manufacturers use
artificial coloring or dye to copy the original, and some of them would resemble
a true pearl at first glance.
To make sure that you're buying genuine Tahitian pearl earrings, you have to select your jeweler with utmost care. Purchase only from reputable stores or online shops. Most important, ask for the quality guarantee or return policy in case their product did not meet industry standard.Another consideration would be the markings on the pearl's surface. Sometimes, the "nacre" layers do not adhere together all the time.
