Tahitian Pearl Jewelry

Jewelry Made with Tahitian Pearls

By Carly Wickell, About.com

Like nearly all pearls found in modern jewelry, Tahitian pearls are cultured -- grown intentionally by humans. They are called black, but their color varies from a silvery metallic to dark graphite, and they can have tones of other colors, like purple and blue. Tahitian pearls grow large, so they make stunning jewelry set alone, but an occasional diamond works perfectly with them.

1. Baroque Cultured Tahitian Pearl Necklace

What a wonderful pearl necklace. It is strung with multi-colored, cultured, baroque Tahitian pearls. The strand is 64.0 inches in length -- long enough to wrap around your neck to create multiple strands.

This 18K white gold circle pendant is rimmed with diamonds, and has a black cultured Tahitian pearl set on its lower edge. The pendant is held by an 18K white gold chain.

3. Tahitian Pearl and Diamond Earrings

The single black Tahitian cultured pearl in each earring is as beautiful as the setting that holds them on your ear. There's a small prong-set diamond above each pearl and more diamonds on the front of an 18K white gold hoop. The front of the hoop lies flat against your earlobe.

4. Tahitian Pearl Solitaire Necklace

This lovely necklace is perfect for anyone who prefers pure simplicity. The necklace features a single black Tahitian cultured pearl suspended on a delicate 18K white gold cable chain. The chain is held in place with a curved lock clasp.
