Black pearl earrings are made with Tahitian pearls that are true naturally black pearls. These rare and exotic pearls are native to the Tahiti-Polynesian Islands. Black pearls are rare and gorgeous, and they are highly sought after jewelry. They are expensive, breathtakingly beautiful and considered a symbol of sophistication and class.

A black pearl is the result of a secretion on the insides of a black-lipped pearl oyster. They consist of thick pearly layers made up of calcium carbonate and other organic substances. They come in a variety of shapes and colors ranging from a rich black to a silvery gray. Often, shades of blue or green are visible, giving the stunning black pearl a new dimension. It is of little wonder that black pearl earrings are considered jewels fit for a princess.

Saltwater oysters produce black pearls that give rise to opulent gems ranging from 8mm to 18mm in size. So highly prized is this fruit of the sea that a small pearl of average quality could cost up to $100, and quite a bit more if it set in a precious metal as earrings or rings. Black pearl earrings are the perfect choice for dark and light skin tones women. Black pearl studs provide a down to earth yet classy look while the dangling styles give an elegant and polished look. Moreover, tall, slim women are considered the ideal candidates for dangling black pearl earrings. Black pearls are versatile enough to be worn casually or formally and add a subtle stunning effect to any wardrobe.
