There are black, or at least dark colored pearls in all varieties, however the best are Tahitian.
There is no such thing as a cheap Tahitian pearl necklace! However, Shecy Pearls has some very simple single pearl necklace designs starting at just over $200 that come strung on a black cord. It’s a casual style, but it’s the most affordable large black pearl necklace they have.
The more elegant versions of the single black pearl necklace are those on a chain and these start at about $265. There are a variety of chain options, but most these have a single pearl with a hole drilled though it and a chain passed through the opening.
If you’re dying for a black pearl but have a limited budget this is your best option. You can even select your pearl from a variety of loose ones and have atop quality gem, then just choose your favorite chain. Make sure you select a chain that is delicate enough to pass through the opening in the pearl. You can choose one from Shecy or just buy the pearl and have it strung at a jeweler near you. The reason you won’t want to it yourself is that you’ll need a clasp or closure added after the pearl has been put on the chain.
Full strands or strings of the cheapest “A” quality Tahitian pearl necklace designs start at around $1,800 for a 16 inch strand, $3,500 for the better AA quality gems, and about $4,000 for the same strand of 16 inches in AAA quality.
So now that you know the price of the real pearl necklace you wish you could have, here are some cheap alternatives for black pearl necklace styles that are genuine Akoya or Freshwater but not Tahitian:
Black Freshwater Pearl Necklace
Choose a black freshwater pearl necklace from Shecy Pearls that has 4mm or 5mm pearls of AA quality and pay as little as $22 to $24! Choose high quality round pearls or dramatic baroque ones that have lots of texture.
Choose blue, lavender, green and multicolored designs in a variety of lengths and spend under $100 for everything you desire. Great quality, good value and lots of selection. Just as an example there’s one exquite piece that’s a black pearl necklace with AA+ freshwater pearls that are between 7mm and 8mm and are off round in shape and cost only $49.
Another option is the one that’s just $39. For that price you can have a 16 inch string of black pearls with a cubic zirconia accent. The pearls are AA quality, which means they are 75% to 90% blemish free and have high luster and medium to thick nacre. Some nice little extras that Shecy pearls offers is your choice of clasp or closure. The piece comes with a beautiful decorative clasp in sterling silver, but you can upgrade to a different design or a more elaborate clasp in silver or gold for anywhere between $6 and $134.
Another alternative to an inexpensive black pearl necklace is the single, double or triple single pearl necklace, and you can choose rich black or green or even blue and purple tones. The freshwater varieties are colorful and affordable. As an example, have a look at this stunning black-blue necklace with three pearls on a delicate chain. The whole creation is just $137 and has three round 7mm or 7.5mm freshwater pearls that are at least AA quality with very high luster and thick nacre that are 95% blemish free.
