About these Black Pearls, commonly called Tahitian Black Pearls:
- Unpolished Black Pearls retain their original natural appearance and each pearl has a unique character, shape and combination of tints/hues.
- These alluring black pearls with their steel-blue appearance can feature different shades of colour from blue, yellow, green, red and purple.
- These pearls are in their natural state which means they feature the natural evidence of their formation, such as minor grooves around the diameter, and slight deformities of shape. Pearls are not normally found perfectly oval and polished!
About these Black Pearls on offer:
- The black pearls were collected naturally by divers from a South Pacific island.
- They are not commercially cultured pearls and are therefore exceedingly valuable.
- This hand-made set has been recently made by local Pacific Islanders and never worn.
- Each necklace weighs about 50 grams, more or less.

More information:
- The pearls are sold here by the principles of Fair Trade, in that the people who made these pearl pieces get the price that they ask for and are happy with. They are sold here to create another outlet for them to generate an income for their families.
