"I have wanted some black pearl earrings in this size for a number of years and was so pleased when they arrived. I have worn the earrings about 6 times and the last time one of the studs came out of the pearl. I was extremely upset and disappointed that I cannot wear them until I have a jeweler glue the stud back into the pearl. The price to repair will probably be as much, if not more, than the earrings cost."

"These akoya pearls are very luminous and smooth.. I can't tell the difference between these akoya and the black strand of freshwater pearls that I bought! They both are lovely!"

"These are quite beautiful even though they are not a true black - they have a bit of a bluish tint to them but not enough to make me send them back. I like smaller earrings and these were just right - I am very happy with the product!"

"This is a very good price for pearl earrings. I was on a cruise 4 years ago in the south seas and bought one pearl on one of the islands, it was certainly a lot more than the price I paid for these."

Fast Facts
| Once the price of pearls was so extravagant they caused wars and even funded a war, but today cultured pearls have made this “queen of gems” available to everyone. |
| Once, all pearls were only natural, most recovered from the Persian Gulf, occurring once in every 15,000 oysters. |
| Pearls form in the mollusk in a variety of shapes, including: round (spherical), off-round, semi-baroque, baroque, rice shaped, button or disk, and many fancy shapes created by the insertion of specially shaped nucleus beads. |
| Many royal families had an obsession with pearls. Some ancient Romans covered whole pieces of furniture in pearl, and in some monarchies only members of the royal were legally allowed to wear pearls. |
 When light touches the pearl, it travels through all the layers of nacre, and each tiny crystal reflects the light like miniature prisms. The end result? A lustrous, breathtaking pearl.

A pearl is a lustrous, organic gem produced by saltwater oysters, freshwater mussels and occasionally by some shellfish. It exhibits a range of colors from white to pink, silver, cream, peach, gold, green, blue and black. Oh Mohs’ scale of hardness, pearl is 2.5 – 4.5. Primary sources of Sea Pearls include Persian Gulf; Gulf of Manaar; along the coasts of Madagascar, Burma (Myanmar), and the Philippines; many islands in the South Pacific, northern Australia; and the coastal lines of Central and northern South America; and some small beds in Japan. Primary sources of freshwater Pearls include United States, some in Europe (restricted in Central Europe).
