Black Tahitian pearl necklace choices are for those who want to invest in quality because they, and the South Sea Golden varieties, are the most expensive pearls in the world. As an example, a single 14mm or 15mm black Tahitian pearl on a delicate gold chain will cost between $1,600 and $1,400 just as a starting point.
Full strings of cultured black Tahitian pearls, even when bought from direct dealers like Shecy Pearls will still cost around $1,800 for a small string of the lowest “A” grade pearls, and the AA grade will cost about $2,600 and the best AAA grade will run you around $4,000.
For around $3,000 you can have a full string of 8mm to 11mm blackish-brown round AA pearls that have very high luster and are between 80% – 90% blemish free with good smoothness and are perfectly matched for size and quality. They will also have a thick nacre and will be strung on a 16 inch necklace with a gold or silver clasp closure.
The other thing to consider when buying a pearl necklace is that you can select a variety of colors even within the same piece of jewelry, and not all Tahitian pearls are black. In fact the range of colors is outstanding, from light silvery grey to green or blue and even yellow and bronze shades that tend toward being brown. Although are no natural chocolate pearls, there are browns that have rich golden undertones that may or may not be enhanced. The cultured ones that have been untreated and are about an AA quality will cost around $3, 500 for a 16 inch string that includes a clasp.
Where to buy a Tahitian Pearl Necklace Online
There are very few discount Tahitian pearl jewelry outlets that offer as good a deals as Shecy Pearls. Although they specialize in Asian Akoya and white freshwater pearls from the pearl farms in China, they have good connections with the Tahitian pearl farmers and offer as good a price as you’ll likely to find.
Even if you’re not interested in a full string of classic pearls, you can select simple necklaces with just one or two pearls on a cord or chain, or choose to have a custom set of pearls crafted just for you by choosing loose Tahitians in the quality you ca afford. However their collections of ready to wear single pearl necklaces are good and if you want to create sets, Shecy is the place to shop because you can buy pearl earrings and matching pearl bracelets that will be the same exact color and quality of pearl.
That is one of the biggest challenges when buying pearl jewelry, having a uniform color and size of gem in the necklace and the earrings and other pieces that are supposed to match. Especially when it comes to black or colored pearls, matching identical shades and tones as well as luster and quality is not easy. Despite that challenge, you can see the uniformity of color even in luminous strings of Shecy’s blue and green and silver black Tahitian pearl necklace designs and the care they take to offer the highest quality for the least price possible.
