The Heart of Darkness- The Black Pearl

The black pearl is making a comeback in the world of high fashion jewelry. A gift of black pearls makes a wonderful and romantic gift for that special someone. Black pearls are considered by some to be a sign of eternal love. Their lustrous color comes from the grayish-black nacre of the oyster shell and there are many different shades of black. The black-lipped Mother-of-Pearl shell, pinctada margaritifera, is a native of the South Pacific and thrives in the clear, unpolluted waters of the lagoons of the northern Cook Islands in Manihiki and Penrhyn.

First, the oyster is collected and a trained technician places a nucleus into the shell,  as well as a piece of mantle from a donor shell. The mantle creates a pouch around the nucleus and after two years or so,  the mantle covers the nucleus with thousands of thin layers of nacre over it. The result is a perfectly spherical black pearl. The mother shells must be kept in good condition and require constant cleaning to prevent the build-up of algae and barnacles.

Surface characteristics can include surface blemishes such as pits, bumps, ridges, cracks or spots. Luster is caused by the reflection of light from the surface.
