Pearls are always appropriate, said once Jackie Kennedy, whose signature necklace was a three strand pearl choker. Decades after these famours words were uttered, pearls still rank high in women’s preferences. Tahitian pearls, for example, are very popular in the marketplace today, not only thanks to their exotic origins (they are harvested by farmers in French Polynesia), but also their multicolor varieties and special shapes. A pearl necklace with Tahitian pearls is a very classy and elegant piece of jewelry, that can easily make you stand out from the crowd at any moment of the day.
Whether you choose dark black or grey to match with your outfit and hairstyle, such a necklace will not go unnoticed. What makes Tahitian pearl necklaces very special is their magical natural color, because dark pearls capture light and deliver it back in a very incandescent glow. Although traditionally they are called black, their color can range from metallic silver, purplish, blueish or greenish overtones, to the color of graphite. The difference between black freshwater or black akoya pearls and the Tahitian ones is that, while the former have been irradiated or dyed, the latter come by their dark color naturally. These gems look great with every skin tone and match all kinds of eye color.
Choose to be glamourous by wearing a Tahitian pearl necklace during at least one of these occasions: read more

Pearls became accessible to regular people when we discovered the marvelous way of creating cultured pearls. Even though their symbolism might have gotten lost along the way (some societies associated pearls with magic), their use in jewelry pieces has become a tradition that no one is yet ready to forget. It comes as no surprise that a black pearl ring has become a sophisticated accessory for the modern woman.

We often wonder what makes pearls such unique gemstones and the answer is pretty simple: unlike other gems, pearls are retrieved from the depths of the sea, not of the earth. They do not require special polishing to maximize their luster, being close to perfection from the very beginning. Their beauty has been treasured since ancient times, pearls being used in jewelry at least since ancient Greece. They were considered so valuable that, in the Byzantine Empire, the rules allowed only the emperor to wear pearls. read more

The Akoya is the most popular pearl on the market, usually seen in pearl strands, but also in earrings. These pearls are the specialty of Japan’s pearl farms. Akoya pearls were first cultured in 1893, displaying a beautifully white color. They quickly became a favorite for elegant jewelery such as Akoya pearl earrings,  Their high value and quality is the reason why you will always find them set with yellow gold or white gold clasps and posts. The Akoya pearl was the one with which Kokichi Mikimoto started his pearl cultivation enterprise. The Akoya oyster is the smallest pearl-producing oyster, which is why Akoya pearls are available mostly in sizes of 3-10 mm. These oysters live in water depths of 1-5 meters and they produce such great pearls thanks to the perfect oceanic climate. read more
