The breathtaking color of these naturally black pearls is produced by black-lipped oysters in the waters off Tahiti and Okinawa. Sizes begin at 8mm, in round, oval, teardrop or unique baroque shapes. While characterized as black, the rich, dark colors actually range from slate grey, silver and pistachio to peacock green and midnight black with overtones of green, rosé or blue. Mikimoto’s South Sea cultured pearls are impressively large in size and come in a dazzling array of natural colors. Because of varieties in color, shape and size, it can take years to assemble a harmoniously matched strand. With over a century of experience to draw on, the skilled pearl sorters at Mikimoto are masters of the art.

This oyster species can also produce richly luminescent white pearls, but the deeper golden colors are the most coveted of all pearls. Harvested in sizes of 9mm and up, in round, oval, teardrop or beautiful baroque shapes.
